lyrics

In a house that needs a washing, in a white-washed washingtown
Them rains of gold are falling on Lady Freedom’s crown
Her green light says to come on home, ‘cross skies and seas of blue
Her light won’t shine forever, with walls it can’t go through

You said these colors don’t run, these colors don’t run
Then why are you so afraid?

The purple mountains, majesties, rise up from red and blue
Vecinos de bronces, precious bronze, bring wealth to me and you
If we build it, they won’t come, the lady’s torch will flicker
We’ll turn gray and crumble in the cruel desert winds

Your god’s engraved in the grayest of steel
With power to take life, never give
She wields it with whimsy, ‘gainst old, against young
If you’d let her go, they could live

Red, white & blue, red, white & blue
Red, yellow, brown, black & white
