America (You're Freaking Me Out)

Album: Hello Exile (2019)

  • On the lonely end of history
    Swinging and swaying 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 trying to teach the devil how to dance

    To these sing along's 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 along's 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?

    To these sing along's 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 along's 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 Writer/s: Eric Joseph Keen, Greg Barnett, Joseph Godino, Thomas F. May
