[Verse 1]
Grocery line
Empty eyes
Price tags higher than the sky
News crawl screaming on the wall
Same song
Different kind of fall
Scroll my thumb till it goes numb
Every headline beats like a drum
All this weight in simple days
Small talk over tidal waves
[Chorus]
It’s heavy here in the USA
Breathing in the static of another day
But I swear there’s a page we haven’t read
Every secret written just above our heads
When the dust
When the dust finally clears
All will be revealed
All will be revealed
[Verse 2]
Red state
Blue state
Same ache
Same rent
Same short paycheck
Flags wave high over quiet fear
We argue loud so we don’t hear
Kids in class learn to duck and hide
Parents pray on the passenger side
Wonder how we got so turned around
Every highway just a circle now
[Chorus]
It’s heavy here in the USA
Breathing in the static of another day
But I swear there’s a page we haven’t read
Every secret written just above our heads
When the dust
When the dust finally clears
All will be revealed
All will be revealed
[Bridge]
Maybe truth moves slow as winter
Cold and cruel
Then cracks and shivers
Maybe love is hiding in the headlines
Waiting for its turn to underline
I don’t know the plan
But I feel
Something in the dark turning real
Hold my hand through the flood of noise (hey)
Listen for a different voice
[Chorus]
It’s heavy here in the USA
Breathing in the static of another day
But I swear there’s a page we haven’t read
Every secret written just above our heads
When the dust
When the dust finally clears
All will be revealed
All will be revealed
