America Loves the Minstrel Show

My life is a sham
I pretend that I'm me
My life is a sham
I pretend that I'm free
Wake up wake up
Its time for me to go
America Loves The Minstrel Show

I don't want to hurt you
But if I do I'll pay
I don't want to hurt you
But if I do I'll pay
I'll live in the dark where
Nothing can ever grow

Its the thief whose the first
To accuse others they steal
Its the fake who claims to
Always know what is real
And millions all want to bathe
In his glow

They love me babe,
There's a line around the block
They love me babe,
Compared to that what have you got
Its who I am it'd be a
Crime to let it go
America Loves The Minstrel Show

I know that they'll never forget me
And the funny faces I make
They'll never forget me
And the funny faces I make
I make â??em think that they won't reap
What they sew
