American Steel

I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Gonna paint the desert red white and fucking blue
See through the cable news veneer, while a country insane with fear
Goosesteps down the Appian way, we're all gonna rue the day

It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
I got a feeling something's wrong
It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
The world's seeing stars and stripes and smart bombs

I'll tell you how it's gonna be
We'll die like drowning rats, just swallowed by the sea
Freedom's on the ides of marching, onward Christian soldiers of fortune
Reversing tides of red herrings, hollow, how low can we go?

It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
I got a feeling something's wrong
It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
The world's seeing stars and stripes and smart bombs

See through the cable news veneer
While a country insane with fear
Goosesteps down the Appian way
We're all gonna rue the day

It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
We're singing everyone's swan song

It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
I got a feeling something's wrong
It won't be long 'till we're all dead and gone
The world's seeing stars and stripes and smart bombs
