Well, I was madly in love with you
Before we ever met
I saw all your movies
I smoked your cigarettes
I drove down your highway
To the mountain top
I spent all my money
Putting quarters in your old jukebox

It's ringing hollow
It's ringing deep
It's ringing loud
And there's always a scoundrel
Trying to whip up the crowd
What do you think about that?
The clocks never gonna turn back
Lady Liberty don't look so good
When she's wearing a frown

And I wandered the cities
And I hit all the bars
I drove through the suburbs
And I lounged in the malls
Let the dreamers get the dream they want
My favorite joke
So pass around the Fenty
Pass around the coke

It's ringing hollow
It's ringing deep
It's ringing loud
And there's always a king
Trying to pick up the crown
But what do you think about that?
They took away the welcome mat
Lady Liberty don't look so good
When there's a tear in her gown

And I drove through the desert
With the dust in my face
And I lived outside of Dallas
Rundown shack of a place
I was handcuffed and arrested
It don't make no sense
Went up to the White House
Shook hands with the president

Well, it's ringing hollow
It's ringing deep
It's ringing loud
When voices are stifled
I wanna scream out loud
Liberty's not looking too well
She's got another crack in her bell
Lady Liberty don't look so good
When she's wearing a scowl
What do you think about that?
What do you think about that?
There's no turning back
Buy me a brand new hat
