in the heart of the country you can feel the heart aching
like a man who was healthy using a broken back to lift
the song it keeps changing
far from what we we're singing
i can barely remember how that old hymn used to go

i'm not standing on corners
i'm not holding up signs
i'm just shaking my head when they say that everything's fine

i feel betrayed

power is crazy
it can make a man lazy
turn a clear blue sky hazy
turns what was simple into hard
when i think of my father and the things that he taught me
he said part of man is knowing when to say you're wrong

i feel betrayed
by what we became
i feel betrayed
more of the same
i wanted to believe
i feel betrayed
