lyrics

The honeymoon over
now the lights are on
The shadows retreat into the corners of the room
the romance over what once was
is now dead and gone
America
A love affair is lost

The king and queen of the bourgeoisie
asleep at the wheel of the American Dream
wake up sleepy head and open up your eyes
To see an America you wouldn’t recognize

CHORUS
A flaccid flag is waving
Over a house of white
Lock your doors we’re safe inside
While the city is alight
All the colors run into black and white
America say good night

Lady liberty has turned and headed out to sea
Justice tipped her scales in favor of greed
And left the huddled masses fighting for their lives
And returned this country back to 1955

CHORUS
A flaccid flag is waving
Over a house of white
Lock your doors we’re safe inside
While the city is alight
All the colors run into black and white
America say goodbye
