Whitney Houston's National Anthem Testo

We danced across your mother's kitchenette
While they swore in your father's president
Your brother used to come around the house
He knows better than to pull that bullshit now

I liked it when your hair was long
And the last thing we agreed on
Was Whitney Houston's national anthem

So you pull the ripcord, I'll crash the plane You move closer, I pull away
The meaning keeps changing
The words are the same
We're still pretending we're not who we are
America's sweetheart, we tore her apart
Everything magic disappears anyway

America's a country club at best
Safe harbor for the famous and the blessed
Captain Kirk finally made it up to space
Like there's no one down here left for him to save

We're over-served and unimpressed
Let's pack it up and leave this mess
Playing Whitney Houston's national anthem

So you pull the ripcord, I'll crash the plane
You move closer, I pull away
The meaning keeps changing
The words are the same We're still pretending we're not who we are
America's sweetheart, we tore her apart
Everything magic disappears anyway

Oh say can you see I'm dying here
Oh say can you see I'm trying dear (I'm trying dear)

We danced across your mother's kitchenette
While they swore in your father's president
You used to come alive when I'd walk in the room
And now we stumble over all our dreams coming true

As the evening sky drifts into dust
Still everything's about us
Except for Whitney Houston's national anthem

So you pull the ripcord, I'll crash the plane
You move closer, I pull away
The meaning keeps changing
The words are the same
We're still pretending we're not who we are
America's sweetheart, we tore her apart
Everything magic disappears anyway
Everything magic disappears anyway
