Which Way to America
Navigating Shadows: Seeking the Heartbeat of America
Lyrics
I look at the T.V.
I observe the television.
Your America's doing well
Your America is thriving.
I look out the window
I look out of the window.
My America's catching hell
My America is facing difficulties.
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
I seek guidance on the path to reach your America.
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
-I change the channel
I switch the channel.
Your America's doing fine
Your America is doing well.
I read the headlines
I read the headlines.
My America's doing time
My America is facing challenges.
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
I seek guidance on the path to reach your America.
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
-Go west young, go west young man
Encouragement to move towards the western direction.
Don't want to crossover
Prefer not to cross over.
But how do I keep from going under?
Concerns about avoiding decline or hardship.
Where is my picket fence?
Where is the idealized symbol of suburban life?
My long, tall glass of lemonade?
Missing the comforts and simplicity.
Where is my VCR, my stereo, my T.V. show?
Expressions of nostalgia for personal entertainment.
I look at the T.V.
I observe the television again.
I don't see your America
I don't see the prosperity of your America on TV.
I look out the window
I look out of the window again.
I don't see your America
I don't see the prosperity of your America outside.
I want to know how to get to your America
Expressing a desire to understand the path to your America.
I want to know how to get to your America
-America
Referencing America.
