The Menzingers - America (You’re Freaking Me Out) lyrics
[The Menzingers - America You’re Freaking Me Out lyrics]
Swingin' and swayin' 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 thirties
Before I shipwreck, before I'm forty?
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
Tryin' to teach the devil how to dance
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs, to ahhs, to big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love ya
But you're freakin' me out
Oh ooh woah oh oh, oh ooh woah oh oh
Oh ooh woah oh oh, oh ooh woah oh oh
Drivin' through the Bible Belt
Billboards claimin' 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-alongs of siren songs
To oohs, to ahhs, to big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love ya
But you're freakin' me out
America, you're freakin' me out
With all my anger, I shout
Why can't you recognize
Truth from clever lies?
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs, to ahhs, to big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love ya
But you're freakin' me out
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs, to ahhs, to big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love ya
But you're freakin' me out
Oh ooh woah oh oh, oh ooh woah oh oh
Oh ooh woah oh oh, oh ooh woah oh oh
Oh ooh woah oh oh, oh ooh woah oh oh
Oh ooh woah oh oh, oh ooh woah oh oh
