i woke up alone
in a vast hotel bed
in the haunches of america
and i looked through that window
thinkin’
this is all mine
it’s all mine it’s all mine
it’s all mine in america
in america
the home of original sin
now just avert your eyes
and sign yer name cuz we’re buying in
then the stranger
pressed inside your wretched heart
cries “america!”
as the sirens shrill
fill the dark
in america come on
in america
you could be buried in
a box full of cash
but body bags are on sale
half price while the flag’s
at half mast
and the man says
as he’s leaning
upon your spine
“kid. what’s mine is yours
and what’s yours is Definitely mine
in america, come on”
come on
now let’s see you resist the pull
we’re all of us susceptible
in america
the view from your shotgun shack
is mitigated by the skyscrapers
and they’re staring back
and the man says
through the funnel to the crowd
“you’re an american
so shut your goddamn mouth
you’re an american come on”
