The Atlantic from The Atlantic by Nelson Savage

So welcome to your American dream
That’s been built on a history that’s been wiped clean
Behind the sparkling image of wealth is the land of the free - except for your health

So, forget the Atlantic there’s more warmth in the North Sea
Forget the Atlantic, but I’m addicted to their sentimentality
Forget the Atlantic, I hope
I’ll forget the Atlantic and stay at home

Cold cruel hellish division of youth
As they run from arrest and race for the truth
There’s no points for second best so line up for gold in your bullet proof vest

While I’ll forget the Atlantic there’s more warmth in the North Sea
Forget the Atlantic, but I’m addicted to their sentimentality
Forget the Atlantic,
I hope I’ll forget the Atlantic and stay at home

Another notch cranked up
Tightening the Bible Belt
As they pin him to the wall
On a cross they can’t afford
On a cross they can’t afford
On a cross they can’t afford

So forget the Atlantic
There’s more warmth in the North Sea
I hope I’ll forget the Atlantic and stay at home
