Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fluorescent lights engage blackbirds frying on a wire
Same birds that followed me to school when I was young
Were they trying to tell me something?
Were they telling me to run?
[Instrumental]
The hammer clicks in place
The world's gonna pay
Right down in the face of God and his saints
Claim your soul's not for sale
I'm a dying breed who still believes
Hunted by American dreams
Hunted by American dreams
Written by: Neko Case, Tom Ray
