Monster
2
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
3
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
4
Came to this country to build a new vision
5
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
6
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
7
Later some got slaves to gather riches
8
But still from near and far to seek America
9
They came by thousands to court the wild
10
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
11
To be their spirit and guiding light
12
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
13
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
14
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
15
Many the lives which had come to an end
16
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
17
We began the slaughter of the red man
18
But still from near and far to seek America
19
They came by thousands to court the wild
20
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
21
To be their spirit and guiding light
22
The blue and grey they stomped it
23
They kicked it just like a dog
24
And when the war over
25
They stuffed it just like a hog
26
And though the past has it's share of injustice
27
Kind was the spirit in many a way
28
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
29
Now it's a monster and will not obey
30
(Suicide)
31
The spirit was freedom and justice
32
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
33
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
34
But now they won't pay it no mind
35
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
36
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
37
They babble about law and order
38
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
39
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
40
It's got our heads into a noose
41
And it just sits there watchin'
42
Our cities have turned into jungles
43
And corruption is stranglin' the land
44
The police force is watching the people
45
And the people just can't understand
46
We don't know how to mind our own business
47
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
48
Now we are fighting a war over there
49
No matter who's the winner
50
We can't pay the cost
51
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
52
It's got our heads into a noose
53
And it just sits there watching
54
(America)
55
America where are you now?
56
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
57
Don't you know we need you now
58
We can't fight alone against the monster
