Lyrics: D. Hall, J. Oates

Music: D. Hall



Make an amendment to the constitution

To preserve the state of our union

I stop believin' what you say to me

There's a tragic gap in credibility

(When the light is gone from your eyes)

(And re-entry may be denied)

(Do I want to expatriate)

(Or I live in the united state)



Inflationary insecurity

'Cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be

A clean break, running away

Should I (work it out some way)

(When the light is gone from your eyes)

(And re-entry may be denied)

(Do I want to expatriate)

Or (I live in the united state)



Watch the trees in the wind when it's starting to blow

Is it a reason to leave, is it treason to go

Just appeasing you is the wrong thing I know

Break away!

(When the light is gone from your eyes)

(And re-entry may be denied)

(Do I want to expatriate)

Or I (live in the united state)

(When the light is gone from your eyes)

(When the light is gone from your eyes)

(When the light is gone from your eyes)

(And re-entry may be denied)

(Do I want to expatriate)

(Or live, live in the united state)

I wanna live live live live live live live live live

(I can't live in the united state)

Oh united state state live live live live live live live

(I can't live in the united State)

Can't live (in the united state)

I can't live (in the united state)

I can't live (in the united state)

I can't live (in the united state)

United state can't live can't live can't live can't live

(I can't live in the united state)

United state can't live (in the united state)

United state can't live (in the united state
