America (You're Freaking Me Out)
On the lonely end of history
Swinging and swaying to the murder mystery
Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene
Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets
Oh, how do I steer my early 30's
Before I shipwreck, before I'm 40
Oh, ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?
Lately I feel like I'm in puppet Vichy, France trying to teach the devil how to dance
To these sing along's of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Driving through the Bible Belt
Billboards claiming how Jesus felt
Oh, how'd his words confuse themselves?
With cranks for Christians in powerful positions
I've always felt like all their pomp and circumstance is just cover for the devil to dance
To these sing along's of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
America, you're freaking me out
With all my anger I shout
Can't you recognize truth from clever lies?
To these sing along's of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
To these sing along's of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
