[Verse 1]
There was a song you used to play
Before they drove you away
But I remember every stroke
Of every chord you played
And in the room they gave the band
I thought I heard you say
That rock 'n' roll's the perfect scare
There's a crime that doesn't pay
[Chorus]
But for mistress America
I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this timе
Think we're gonna be finе
[Verse 2]
And I had never prayed before
But if it keeps the devil from your door
I'll kneel down and bruise my knees
On your hard linoleum floor
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I thought I saw the light
But it was just a satellite station
Just another human creation
Where you gonna run to now?
There was a song you used to play
Before they drove you away
But I remember every stroke
Of every chord you played
And in the room they gave the band
I thought I heard you say
That rock 'n' roll's the perfect scare
There's a crime that doesn't pay
[Chorus]
But for mistress America
I'm gonna get a gun
And learn the words to all of your songs
Mistress America, smile for the camera
I think we're gonna make it this timе
Think we're gonna be finе
[Verse 2]
And I had never prayed before
But if it keeps the devil from your door
I'll kneel down and bruise my knees
On your hard linoleum floor
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I thought I saw the light
But it was just a satellite station
Just another human creation
Where you gonna run to now?
