A little piece in you
A little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom
This season promise not to stare
Too long
But this is not America

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

For this is not America
This is not America (Sha-la-la-la-la)
This is not America
This is not (Sha-la-la-la-la)
This is not America (Sha-la-la-la-la)
This is not America (Sha-la-la-la-la)

A little piece of you
A little piece of me
A little piece in you
A little piece in me will die

For this is not America
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
This is not America

This is not America
This is not, this is not America
This is not, this is not America
This is not, this is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not America
This is not America (Sha-la-la-la-la)
This is not America, no
This is not (Sha-la-la-la-la)
This is not America (Sha-la-la-la-la)
This is not America (Sha-la-la-la-la)
