A long, long time ago
I can still remember how...
...
On the boats and on the planes,
They're coming to America...
...
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

While the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown

And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight

Here we are all in one place
A nation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Now for one year we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be...
...

We've been traveling far
But not without a star

Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Ev'ry time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America

My country 'tis of thee (today)
Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today)
Of thee I sing
Today, Today, Today
Today, today, today...
...
I do remember that I cried
The day the music died

So bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die

...
Today, today, today.
