City On the Hill
Desaparecidos

All the founding fathers sowed their seeds

Into servant girls

All the godless heathens had to leave

To make a newer world

So we could live together in America

Justice is blind, man

So is love

Oh-oh oh-oh

All the stolen melodies they played

In the hit parade

All the power spirituals, they fade

In the salad days

So we could sing together in America

The price of an anthem paid in blood

Bodies stacked like hundred dollar bills

To build that shining city on the hill

There's no guilt, regret, or shame

It just had to be this way

Oh-oh oh-oh

If you steal and hustle, don't get caught

Gotta risk it all

Or hang on every number they read off

For the power ball

We'll all get rich together in America

Money's indifferent

So is love

Trash bags full of hundred dollar bills

We left that broke down city on the hill

Had to relocate the past

Because we're never going back
