Lawrence Rothman, Lucinda Williams - Decent Man lyrics

They massacre our mothers' pride
Massacre while we numb our minds she said
"Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"

We crave the life before our broken home
There’s no escape, the damage done she said
"Are there any decеnt men left? Are
Thеre any decent men left?"
The atheist and Jesus freaks
Sing together in rare harmony she said
"Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"

They propagate our mental state
Make believe, we are what we hate she said
"Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"

And the New York Times said the
Country's gone up for sale
From the Trail of Tears
Through the Holy Grail
The star spangles sung in a minor scale
While them good ole boys build a
Wall around their biggest fail
Their biggest fail the failing of the USA

They violate our private lives
Monetize our collective mind she said
"Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"

We fall in love just to fall out of love
To fall in love just to fall out of love
She said "Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"
They laugh from space at the teenage star
Technology outlived us all she said
"Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"

The antichrist's outplaying God
And God’s alive and well in a dog she said
"Are there any decent men left? Are
There any decent men left?"

Now we're just a lifeless empty midwest mall
The aftermath of a hot head playing God
We dreamed a little dream inside a dream
While paradise bet and lost it all
That hot head bet and lost it all

All that glitters is gone
All that glitters is gone
All that glitters is gone
