 My country, 'tis of thee
 Sweet land of liberty
 How come I cannot see
 My future within your arms
 Your love it turns me down
 Into the underground
 My country bleeding me
 I will not stay in your arms
 Not yet, yet, yet
 No, not yet, yet, yet
 No, not yet, yet
 No, not yet, yet, eh-oh
 Not yet, yet, yet
 No, not yet, yet, yet
 No, not yet, yet

 At the Salvation army, making us all stand in a line
 While mommy and daddy make up and try to make up their mind
 Oh, the shame I felt when those histories mention my name
 If only I could forget, but memory's my favorite game
 We cannot have it
 Well, what am I supposed to say to those other guys
 So sorry, but you only stood half a chance
 Now it's over and they're walkin' all over you
 We cannot have it
 Well, then why is there juice dripping under your chin
 When they have nothing, why do you have something
 When they have nothing
 The worst thing about living a lie
 Is just wondering when they'll find out

 I got me, you've got you
 That's one plus one plus two
 I never told you what to do
 And then you put me in some box
 I've got you, you've got me
 Like a baby's got a bumblebee
 I told myself I'd have to jump higher
 If I was gonna get over your shit
 We cannot have it
 Well, then what do you want me to say to those others
 Oh yes, there's a place for you
 But that place is underneath the cushion of my behind
 And you cannot have it
 Well, then why did you say so
 With my eyes open, how can I be happy?
 With my eyes open
 If nothing of this is ours
 How will I ever know when something's mine?
