America (You're Freaking Me out)

On the lonely end of history

Swingin' and swayin' to the murder mystery

Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene

Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets

Oh, how do I steer my early 30's

Before I shipwreck, before I'm 40

Oh, ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore

What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?

Lately, I feel like I'm in puppet Vichy France

Tryin' to teach the devil how to dance

To these sing-alongs of siren songs

To ooh's, to ahh's

To big applause

With all of my anger I scream and shout

America, I love you but you're freaking me out

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Driving through the Bible Belt

Billboards claiming how Jesus felt

Oh, how'd his words confuse themselves?

With cranks for Christians in powerful positions

I've always felt like all their pomp and circumstance

Is just cover for the devil to dance

To these sing-alongs of siren songs

To ooh's, to ahh's

To big applause

With all of my anger I scream and shout

America, I love you but you're freaking me out

America, you're freaking me out

With all my anger, I shout

Can't you recognize

Truth from clever lies?

These sing-alongs of siren songs

To ooh's, to ahh's

To big applause

With all of my anger I scream and shout

America, I love you but you're freaking me out

To these sing-alongs of siren songs

To ooh's, to ahh's

To big applause

With all of my anger, I scream and shout

America, I love you but you're freaking me out

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh
