In Her Apotheosis

by kenny

We've got a red white and blue bloodlust For the drips from the slits in the wrist Of Ms. Statue of Liberty Miss America Covered in capitalist pigs blood camouflaged as corn syrup whispering bitter somethings to the diabetic nation that broke her sweet-heart They'll give her something to fill her wounds And add insult to Self-inflicted injuries in flashes of light our arrogance under-shadows our destiny She’ll overcome us in her apotheosis   She’ll come back around harder next time When she finally comes for us
