Desaparecidos - City On The Hill Lyrics

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

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

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
