America lyrics - Richard Ashcroft

This is the wild west, yeah

All this sex, pain, tears, joy – the universal language, this is music - are you tuning in?

Are you tuning in?

I’m sharper than a Leica lens, I have real grace, no money to spend

Spend, spend, spend, spend, spend spend, spend

I’ve been around the world I know there’s music, the united gnosis - oh gnosis, hypnosis

Oh in Tokyo, oh in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound

Oh in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere

Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?



For all the men who ever died trying to keep my soul alive

For all the sisters, all the saints who freed me from my chains

Music, music - now use it

Oh in Tokyo, oh, in London town - the same pain, same joy, same sound

Oh in London town -the same pain, same joy, same sound

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?
America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere

Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?

America, America, I’m looking for you everywhere
Are you – the same pain, same joy, same sound?
