There’s a reckoning
It’s been coming down the line
For believing your own press
Unbridled selfishness
Demons of deceit and denial
The undivided truth
Is slipping through our hands
It’s lying all in pieces on the floor

But if you’re are old enough to remember
The incandescent sky
You’ll recognize the dimming of the light
If we don’t get back to the beauty
Of the elegant design
We’re bound to die in the darkness
Of a starless, soulless night
American sunset...

There’s a poisoning
That happens slowly over time
It just seeps into the water
Lambs to the slaughter
So you don’t even notice that you’re dying
From inequality and greed, partisan divide
Majesty is falling from our eyes

If you’re are old enough to remember
The incandescent sky
You’ll recognize the dimming of the light
If we don’t get back to the beauty
Of our elegant design
We’re bound to die in the darkness
Of a starless, soulless night
American sunset...

If we don’t get back to the beauty
Of the elegant design
You’ll recognize the dimming of the light
You’ll recognize the dimming of the light
American sunset
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh… Writer/s: Bruce Sudano
