lyrics

Good luck America
We got a golden noose and we like to show it
Good luck America
A cold killer on the loose, pretend we don't know it
Good luck America
We got a black eye shining like our purple mountains
Good luck America
Can you see it through our amber waves
The bloody haze
Yeah yeah yeah!

Gotta get it offa my chest
offa my chest
offa my chest
Get off my chest

Good luck America
A fine lady with a torch and mighty fine trample
Good luck America
Setting the world on fire, that's a fine example
Good luck America
We got Lousiana, Carolina, Mississouri burning
Good luck America
All the holy alabaster Alabama-bam-bam-bam

Gotta get you offa my back
offa my back
offa my back
Get off my back
Go on get offa my back
offa my back
offa my back
Get off my back

Ye as I walked through the valley of the shadow of Death
I did fear evil
I did fear evil
And thy rod, thy staff, thy phallus did NOT comfort me
As I awoke from a disturbingly pleasant American Dream
Stepping gingerly into the street
From my shabby-chic shithole
To hunt and gather my daily latte
Imagine my surprise upon waking into this violent silence
To discover I had been living in a fantasy
I had been living in the American Fantasy
And the ground did tremble beneath me
As the She-Leviathan shuddered her ac(chord
And I fell to my knees crying "Mother! I have partaken of the fruit!"
Then did the long and suffering dead rise up
And their children and the children of their oppressors stormed the streets
Singing "How long?"
It won't be long
"How long?"
It won't be long

Mother forgive us
It's been four thousand years since our last confession
Calling on the songlines in the Dreamtime
Oh mother my mother
Awaken your scars
