rufus wainwright : going to a town

i'm going to a town that has already been burnt down / i'm going to a place that has already been disgraced / i'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down / i'm so tired of america // i'm gonna make it up for all of the sunday times / i'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes / that never really seem to want to tell the truth / i'm so tired of you, america // making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone / i got a life to lead, america / i got a life to lead // tell me, do you really think you go to hell for having loved? / tell me, and not for thinking everything that you've done is good / i really need to know, after soaking the body of jesus christ in blood / i'm so tired of america // i really need to know, i may just never see you again, or might as well / you took advantage of a world that loved you well / i'm going to a town that has already been burnt down / i'm so tired of you, america // making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone / i got a life to lead, america / i got a life to lead, i got a soul to feed, i got a dream to heed / and that's all i need // making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone / i'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
