lyrics

Tell me what you need, what you need is good
Everybody says what they think they should
Got too many words, not enough thought
Too much collected, not enough taught

Torn in America, it’s okay
Torn in America everyday
Torn in America, we’re alright
Torn in America, born to fight

Run from the middle, it’s burning up
Everybody's proving they’re tough enough
Connecting the dots and you make the leap
Try and rest easy, but you never sleep
It’s not easy when you’re losing your soul
Got a vision of the version you are trying to control

Torn in America, it’s okay
Torn in America, everyday
Torn in America, it’s alright
Pull to the left, pull to the right
Meet in the middle, commence the fight
Whose time is it now? (Torn in America, it’s okay)
Whose crowds are turning out? (Torn in America everyday)
Whose lies are building fear? (Torn in America, we’re alright)
Whose minds are changing here? (Torn in America, born to fight)

Really don’t mind if you get it wrong
As long as the learning don’t take too long
As fast as you can, got to make a new plan
Hate to mention it much, you’re a hair out of touch
Feel like we gotta get out of here
Are we swinging too much on a pendulum of fear?
