Elvis Costello — American Mirror

[Verse 1] There's a sweet and there's a crack Words you cannot take back And we're all in this week's American Mirror There's a gift and there's a deal Much too life-like to feel And we're all in. We're all in this thing together. [Chorus] Every working hand, every woman and man, Every sister and brother And we're all-in There's more than enough of this wealth to share But you can't see it any clearer In this American Mirror (In this American Mirror) In this American Mirror (this American Mirror) (Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror.) In this American Mirror (Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror.) [Verse 2] And your eyes are filled with pride As you straighten up your spine Stare at them, into the glass Kiss goodbye. Kiss goodbye To your fears that haunt your dreams Like those nine hairs of flints And we're all-in. We're all in this thing together. [Chorus] Every working hand, every woman and man, Every sister and brother. And we're all-in. There's more than enough of this wealth to share But you can't see it any clearer In this American Mirror (this American Mirror) In this American Mirror (this American Mirror.) (Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror.) In this American Mirror (Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror.) [Verse 3] There's a scandal and there's a sin As you probably win And we're all in this week's American Mirror. There's a couple that we commend That makes us feel better than them And we're all-in. We're all in this thing together. [Chorus] Every working hand, every son with his gun, Every saint in the land, every woman and man, Every one-night stand, every violent man, Every sister and brother. And we're all-in. There's more than enough of this wealth to share. And we're all-in. There's more than enough of this shame to share. And we're all-in. There's more than enough of this blame to care. You couldn't see it any clearer. Ooh, the word that you fear appears much nearer In this American Mirror (this American Mirror) Oh, in this American Mirror (this American Mirror) In this American Mirror (this American Mirror) Oh, in this American (this American Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror.)
