The West Knows Best Lyrics
By happy hearts, so broken
We stuck by you, and you know
Your bold swagger made us forget
the dagger at our throat
You're always in a hurry and a rage
I call it defiance of coming of age
But you've cast your last spell on us
You've bombed your last bridge to us, oh
We used to love America
You would have won the world by letting go,
But then you lost your way
Your glory days are gone, so smile and roll over
We've got so much more in common today
All hail the stumbling child-king,
Calling for the vanishing light
Now stay with us, as brothers,
through this darkest of nights, oh
We used to love America
And I remember how you said, we shall all sing again
Screw the rest;
The west knows best
Yeah, I remember how you sang, we shall all just sing it
Screw the rest;
The west knows best
Oh, screw the rest;
The west knows best
We used to love America
We stuck by you, and you know
Your bold swagger made us forget
the dagger at our throat
I call it defiance of coming of age
But you've cast your last spell on us
You've bombed your last bridge to us, oh
But then you lost your way
Your glory days are gone, so smile and roll over
We've got so much more in common today
All hail the stumbling child-king,
Calling for the vanishing light
Now stay with us, as brothers,
through this darkest of nights, oh
Screw the rest;
The west knows best
Screw the rest;
The west knows best
The west knows best
