[Intro]
This is not america, schalalalala
[Strophe 1]
A little piece of you
A little peace in me
Will die for this is not america
Blossom falls to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
For this is not a miracle
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
[Refrain]
Schalalalala, schalalalala
Schalalalala, this is not america, no
This is not, schalalalala
[Strophe 2]
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
The biggest [?] to bloody red tomorrows clouds
A little peace of you
A little peace in me
This is not america
For this is not america
[Bridge]
There was a time a wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not america
[Refrain]
Schalalalala, schalalalala
Oh, this is not america
This is not america
Schalalalala, schalalalala
This is not america, no
Schalalalala, schalalalala
[Outro]
This is not america
This is not america
This is not america
No, no, no
This is not, no
This is not america
This is not america, schalalalala
[Strophe 1]
A little piece of you
A little peace in me
Will die for this is not america
Blossom falls to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
For this is not a miracle
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
[Refrain]
Schalalalala, schalalalala
Schalalalala, this is not america, no
This is not, schalalalala
[Strophe 2]
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
The biggest [?] to bloody red tomorrows clouds
A little peace of you
A little peace in me
This is not america
For this is not america
[Bridge]
There was a time a wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not america
[Refrain]
Schalalalala, schalalalala
Oh, this is not america
This is not america
Schalalalala, schalalalala
This is not america, no
Schalalalala, schalalalala
[Outro]
This is not america
This is not america
This is not america
No, no, no
This is not, no
This is not america
