Rufus Wainwright - Going To A Town

I'm going to a town that
has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that
has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks
who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for
all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for
all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to
want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you America
Making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead
America
I've got a life to lead
Tell me
do you really think you
go to hell for having loved
Tell me
enough of thinking everything
that you've done is good
I really need to know
after soaking the body of
Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America
I really need to know
I may just never
see you again
or might as well
You took advantage of a world
that loved you well
I'm going to a town that
has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you America
Making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead
America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need
Making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already
been burnt down

I'm going to a town that
has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that
has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks
who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for
all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for
all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to
want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you America
Making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead
America
I've got a life to lead
Tell me
do you really think you
go to hell for having loved
Tell me
enough of thinking everything
that you've done is good
I really need to know
after soaking the body of
Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America
I really need to know
I may just never
see you again
or might as well
You took advantage of a world
that loved you well
I'm going to a town that
has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you America
Making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead
America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need
Making my own way home
ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already
been burnt down
