Temples gut me with villainy
This bus ride will never end
Heard a man got his head cut off
Heard a guy started eating him
This is real
This is America
er This is Canadian
but they’re American’s too
Ain’t they
Ain’t Brazilians
South Americans?
Say: Ciao
Benne
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ GOLLLLLLLLLLL ! ! ! ! ! !
There’s a guy been back there in the toilet
for what seems like an hour
This bus is a boat
Screaming across the bottled sky
A Horus Eye, Anubis
on wry
I am aching just to go west
Just to westward die
The story is this:
This is the plain and simple:
I am a simple man, listen!
I like to shoot
Guns
It’s true
And I accidentally
Shot
Someone
It’s true
Right between the eyes
Eye am no William Tell
I ate the apple instead
And instead I went to hell
So here’s my Overture
Bang:
The United Hates of America
Bang:
The idiots have taken over
The asylum
And an idiot is far worse
Than an inmate
For an inmate
May well be sane
And the keepers mad
Bang
But an idiot
Is an idiot
Once more:
An idiot is far worse than an inmate, for an inmate may well be sane… and the keepers mad.
I will never be
A “business man”
Yes the jig is up
Viet-Bang
But the band is still playing
The “drug wars”
The “war on drugs”
Bang bang bang
Yes the dream is over
Iraqabangbang
But the illusion
Crustacean
Won’t die
The vote
Bubangbang
Yes the jig is up
But the band’s still playing
An illusion
A sign
A one a two and
The wheels on the bus go
Round and round
An illusion
A sign
A one a two and
The wheels on the bus
are tumbling down
An illusion
A crime
A one a two and
bang
The United Hates of America
