"There Is No Arizona" by Jamie O'Neal



"There Is No Constitution"
     by John Ruff

They promised us a new and better life,
  in the Constitution.
Underneath the star-spangled banner flag,
  swore that they were gonna;
Protect and defend against all of evil,
Represent and promote the rights of the people.

But there is no Constitution.
No Bill of Rights, they're all illusions.
If there were civil liberties,
Well, they're lost in re-translated legalities.
But they don't exist,
The rights they told us,
You'll wake up to find,
There is no Constitution.

Each day justice is oppressed,
The rights of the people in redress,
Voters ask Congress where we're going,
Finally they tell us, "You don't know!"

But there is no Constitution.
No Bill of Rights, they're all illusions.
If there were civil liberties,
Well, they're lost in re-translated legalities.
But they don't exist,
The rights they told us,
You'll wake up to find,
There is no Constitution.

They promised us a new and better life,
  in the Constitution.
 He promised her a new and better life, out in Arizona
Underneath the blue never ending sky, swore that he was gonna
Get things in order, he'd send for her
When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind

There is no Arizona
No painted desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

She got a postcard with no return address, postmarked 'Tombstone'
It said "I don't know where I'm goin' next but when I do
I'll let you know"
May, June, July, she wonders why
She's still waiting, she'll keep waiting 'cause

There is no Arizona
No painted desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

Each day the sun sets into the west
Her heart sinks lower in her chest and
Friends keep asking when she's going
Finally she tells them don't you know

There is no Arizona
No painted desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

He promised her a new and better life, out in Arizona
