Hearted lyrics

You play the firing squad; I'll be the targetI'll just stand here broken-hearted and amazedYou are the angry mob, I hear you callin'Your Straw-man Gallows swing with hunger unrestrained(Chorus)You've raped my eyes wide openNow it's easy to see (it's easy to see)How you'd say I'm guilty of treasonSo un-AmericanJust don't call me blindReach over cotton fields; look past the junglesPost-cards from Wounded Knee and burning desert hellsSo long as you can sleep clear of your conscienceLeave future history to those who write so well(Chorus)I swear my allegiance to the memoryThe shadowOf a nation that could have beenI swear my allegiance to the memoryThe shadowOf a nation that never was(Chorus)
