[Verse 1]
Well, it's true what they say
The American way is built on someone's tears
They alone are the lucky ones
Take when they came; with promises made
How long? A hundred thousand years so far?
Would really like to hurry things up

[Chorus]
D'like to know, better than
History, when lies began
I saw the truth, I couldn't lie
I'd take it back a thousand times

[Bridge]
But now you've gone and thrown it all away
You are king of the world
Yet you plunder, always saying
Something new, pleasе
Mmh, mmh
I can't guide them anymore
I saw what thеy did

[Chorus 2]
Like to know, better than
Eyes that change when youth began
I saw the truth, I couldn't lie
I'd give it back a thousand times
[Outro]
Armed a child, left her there
I saw it all, pretend I had
Pretend I cared, not at all
Ooh, ooh
