I was young and not deceived then I believed in the heart of the country How the words sound, how the truth lies I was moved by the heart of the country
Oh, oh, then I saw through The charade, the facade, Now I've had it all
When they ask you who deprives you You reply your heart of the country I am older, I am wiser I despise the heart of the country
Oh, oh, then I felt it All the tears and the grief I believed it all
Taking bad times, by the handful Do what you can for the heart of the country They dish the dirt out too hard to swallow
