America Religious

Lyrics

Sunbeam patches like lightning in my vision Stumbling, trembling as a tremor In the depths beneath the trenches Well, I came upon a spotted horse The lonely dun, untethered mare Grazing yellow grass, a field of straight-back silken hair It was then I realized with a lasso round the sky I'd follow morning so the sun, it would be always on the rise Come five days sleepless, a thousand miles behind me I heard a voice in wind-speak and it drew my soul in silhouette "Oh, Atlas, move along, I've got two arms This world won't know which ear to stand on" Solo joyriding Twelve-lane highway Off-the-cuff Pagan lust It's a wonder I've got two legs to stand on I drink myself blind, uncurtailed by moderation "Stand on me", I'll stand on you For lack of something better to do America religious I eat slices of white privilege Processed by agri-business Ain't this what you'd always dreamed it'd be? The two-spot, dream-spot All scattered 'bout the table As we plunged in ankle-deep in table conversation Meanwhile, out in the distance Through the mist, there rang a scream As we all ducked our heads We sheered our eyes "Lord, thank you for this feast" I think I'd like to take this time to toast myself "Here's to the wine!" Keep your two cents, spare me your change Honey, around here, we work for our pay It's a wonder I've got two legs to stand on I drink myself blind, uncurtailed by moderation "Stand on me", I'll stand on you Footloose, disillusioned and blue
