'Miss America' by Styx

You were the apple of the public's eye
As you cut the ribbon at the local mall
A mirage for both you and us
How can this be real?

We love your body in that photograph
Your home state sure must be proud
The queen of the United States
Have you lost your crown?

Well, aren't you (Miss America?)
Don't you (Miss America?)
Won't you (Miss America, our love?)

Well, are you really who we think you are?
Or does your smile seem to wear you down?
Is the girl who you once were
Screaming to jump out?

In the dream that you must live
A disease for which there is no cure
This rollercoaster ride you're on
Won't stop to let you off

Well, aren't you (Miss America?)
Don't you (Miss America?)
Won't you (Miss America, our love?)

Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America

Well, aren't you (Miss America?)
Don't you (Miss America?)
Won't you (Miss America, our love?)

Well, it's true just take a look
The cover sometimes makes the book
And the judges, did they ever ask
To read between your lines?

In your cage at the human zoo
They all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do
When you have been forgotten?

Aren't you (Miss America?)
Don't you (Miss America?)
Won't you (Miss America, our love?)

Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America
Miss America

'Miss America' by Styx

Great choice, T.B. Yoits.

One of the best rock songs by Styx. I saw a live performance of Styx on video. Unfortunately they sped that song up too much playing live.

This one is better... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAnOI1Yp_LA

from 2023 - not bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9TaImUaPQ0
