Now and then I think of when you ruled me over
Like when you needed goods that I'd supply
I told myself that you were cruel to me
and you felt so evil in my company
But I was land and it's an ache I still remember
America:
You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end of your tyranny
So when I found that stamps weren't worth six pence (stamp act anyone?)
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
England:
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and my empire was nothing
I don't even need your wealth, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends go to war with me (anyone remember France in the Revolutionary War?)
so I'd never recover
Guess that I don't need the world
Now you're just some country that I used to own
Now you're just some country that I used to own
Now you're just some country that I used to own
China:
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
You had me addicted to something that I didn't like (blech, too many syllables
But I don't want to live that way
smoking opium and my life away
but I said that I could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on some country that you used to own...
England:
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and my empire was nothing
I don't even need your wealth, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends go to war with me
so I'd never recover
Guess that I don't need the world
Now you're just some country that I used to own
Some country that I used to own
Some country(now your just some country that I used to own)
That I used to own
Some country that I used to own
Some country (some country) (now your just some country that I used to own)
That I used to own
I used to own
That I used to own
I used to own
Some country
