City On The Hill Lyrics - Payola - Desaparecidos

All the founding fathers sewed their seeds 

In the southern coast 

All the godless heathens had to leave 

To make a newer world 

So we could live together in America 

Justice is blinding so is love 

Oh-oh, oh-oh 

Oh-oh, oh-oh 

All the stolen melodies they played 

In the hit parade 

All the power spirituals they fade 

In a salute

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So we could sing together in America 

Black sermon anthem, painted love 

Polystyrene 100 dollar bills 

To build a shining city on the hill 

(Forgot them all!) 

There's no cure for pain or shame 

You just have to be this way 

Oh-oh, oh-oh 

Oh-oh, oh-oh 

If you steal and hustle don't get caught 

Gotta risk it all 

Hang on every note that they read off 

For the Powerball 

We'll all get rich together in America 

Money's indifferent - so is love 

Photos 

Trash bags full of 100 dollar bills 

(Statues on the wall) 

We left that broke down city on the hill 

(Forget them all!) 

Have to relocate the past 

Because we're never going back
