about

Second single off our 2018 album 'Finally, a friendly shore'.

lyrics

Oh, Americans
Clinging to their freedom like a lollipop
Getting high on the sugar while their teeth just rot
How did it begin? and tell me when will it stop?
Oh, Americans

Oh, Americans
Calling on the government to leave ’em alone
Regulating vaginas ’til the cows come home
Where did it come from? and how far will they go?
Oh, Americans

For every Woody Guthrie
There’s a dozen Joe McCarthys
You silence all your Martin Luther Kings
You turn away from greatness
For the shallowest embraces
And never stop to think about
For whom the bell rings

It rings for you, America
Your voice has gotten louder and your stick’s still big
You’re blowing down the houses of the little pigs
That hole’ll just get deeper for as long as you dig Oh, America
