In Comes the Flood

Lyrics

[Intro: "America the Beautiful"] America! America! America! America! America! America! America! America! America! America! God shed His grace on thee [Verse 1] All hail, praises be to thee Oh, ye paper deity As we hail our sacred cow To the bankers we will bow Endless profit from their wars Making slaves of all the poor Our new god is on the Hill "The Almighty" dollar bill [Pre-Chorus] I want to burn down Wall Street, baby And fan the flames of discontent Like Hades Saints of red, white, and blue Pass bonds of junk to you Our flag has all but bled to green [Chorus] In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) [Verse 2] Live to buy or time to die It's all for sale on credit lines Until the fucking end of time Shackled to the dotted line Oh, the market may be free But not for you and me Succumb as we forget To the Angel of Debt [Pre-Chorus] I don't give a fuck if I'm rich, motherfucker We bought that line 'Cause we're a bunch of suckers We're fighting for the scraps We've let our conscience lapse By turning cash into a god [Chorus] In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Money-theistic religion Saints of the red, white, blue, and green Who dare to inflate my life's interest rate Till their rich bellies burst at the seams? Our lives are nothing more to them Than a snap financial decision Blinded by a TV screen All hail the American Dream [Bridge] And woe to thee Our life empty If we hold this dear Then lose our fear America (America) Wake up (Wake up) [Refrain: "America the Beautiful"] America! America! God shed His grace on thee [Chorus] In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America) In comes the flood (In comes the flood) Wake up, America (America)...
