The tárogató yells About the Spiritus Sanctus While I conduct Electric orchestra In more ways than one Noxious fumes Piles of elastic dolls The forge beckons The crisis averted God bless America The working man He's down on his luck He kills his boss Then waits in his blood For the police with a smile The wooden flute The samurai's hat The question of allegience The barbed wire fences God bless America The muezzin talks To the director Looking for the paper The Luzerne Zeitung That is what he cried Will I live to see daylight? Will I choke on a cloth, Doused in gasoline With the rabbit skinner? God bless America Purple Yellow Indigo Green Lime Curmudgeon Ocher Bordeaux Magenta Pink Does the Creator ever question the existence of her own self, or does she sit upon her clouds, oblivious to our plight, performing the greatest of rituals with no effect and appointing herself God of This, God of That, God of Whatever-Comes-To-Mind, naming herself after whatever we want her to be, believing in simply just letting us believe, calculating until our inevitable doom makes her simply useless and lonesome? Would her angels then weep for humanity? Are there angels? Who are you? Allah? Krishnu? Tezcatlipoca? Zeus? Inferno is unleashed on the ******* sagging from my chin The pain burns, but worse is the humiliation Even worse is the taste But I endure it, for I must see the yellow brick road once more The chest grows The hair grows The voice grows higher She stands tall In her filth In her rotting lamb's skin In the armchair Where bliss once caught her And a generation dies under the commanding voice of Whoever-The-Fuck Why would his name matter when all you'll remember is the count of millions? God bless America God bless America God bless America God bless America God bless America God bless America Can you dig your own grave, America? My arms are tired.
