This Could Be Our Country by The President Lincoln Lyrics

[Verse 1]
By Royal Mail and ocean liner
By locomotion and money wire
By cable-gram I swear that I will
Send for you upon my arrival

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We could become ancestors
We could become rich
We could become patriots with our adopted anthems on our lips

[Chorus]
In foreign accents through the presence of the absence
Unpack across the landscapes
Stick a flag in it and turn it over!
This could be our country and
This could be our country song

[Verse 2]
With letters, lore and retrieved items
These great legends will be put to rhyme and
Among our ruins field trips will try to
Apply meaning there to the detritus
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When we become artefacts
When we become myths
Will be known as forefathers or only counted as statistics?

[Chorus]
Westward to the nectar pie and defectors
As depicted in the art collection
Of the empire we call home
This could be our country and
This could be our country song

In foreign accents through the presence of the absence
Unpack across the landscapes
Stick a flag in it and turn it over!
This could be our country and
This could be our country song

[Bridge]
We'll go...

[Chorus]
Westward to the nectar pie and defectors
As depicted in the art collection
Of the empire we call home
This could be our country and
This could be our country song
In foreign accents through the presence of the absence
Unpack across the landscapes
Stick a flag in it and turn it over!
This could be our country and
This could be our country song

This could be our country and
This could be our country song

This could be our country and
This could be our country song
