lyrics

She wakes up slowly
Hides the paper
just like yesterday
Her friends are there but cautious
A bit embarrassed
but too afraid to say

She may stumble but the weight she will throw
she'll blame on someone else
Oh, Columbia, I do love you
but less than you feel for yourself

She stands up boldly
Quick to point out
she's been wronged before
Her friends are there but silent
Too afraid to
suggest she ought to know

What did you expect would happen
when you pushed them to the floor?
Oh, Columbia, I do love you
but I’ve seen this scene before

She slaps them down with every act
Yet, she’s surprised when they swing back
A hit no one deserves, but
only she could’ve missed it coming

Oh, Columbia, I’ve been quiet
now for far too long
Oh, Columbia, I do love you
but that doesn’t mean
that I can’t see when you’re wrong

She won’t even hear me
She’ll draw the covers
and snuggle back to sleep
