Iris DeMent - Wasteland of the free

Tekst :

Living in the wasteland of the free...

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ s disciples
but they don t look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don t tell me they don t turn around and kiss them peoples ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don t fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got CEO s making two hundred times the workers pay
but they ll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don t like it, mister, they ll ship your job
to some third-world country cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let s blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got high-school kids running round in Calvin Klein and Guess
who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test
but if you ask them, they can tell you
the name of every crotch on mTV
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he s standing up for what he believes in
and that seems pretty damned American to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let s blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

While we sit gloating in our greatness
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free
Living in the wasteland of the free.

Inne utwory

  • Slaughterhouse
  • Long way down
  • Slide
  • On your side
  • No way out
  • Wildwood flower
  • Down on the corner
  • String of lies
  • Burning up
  • Naked
  • So outta line
  • Break my mind
  • Smash
  • We are the normal
  • Losowe utwory

    Down boy

    Down boy
    Keep you down boy

    I m the one that you would die for
    The one you long to touch
    The one you live our life for
    I know it s much

    The more you see, the more you want
    The more you taste, it just gets...

    Kukły

    Samotnie spacerujesz wkoło
    Samotnie drżysz jak liść
    Wilgotny wiatr tuli czoło
    W klatce dni

    Samotnie zakładasz buty
    Samotnie dopinasz płaszcz
    Sam na sam ze swoją mową
    Sam na sam ze swoim ja
    Sam na sam z pochyloną głową
    Szukasz kogoś w klatce dni

    Samotnie wbijasz wzrok w ścianę

    Pocket of a clown

    Inside a pocket of a clown
    Is a sad place to hang around
    Just watching smiles turn into frowns
    Inside the pocket of a clown

    Inside the heartache of a fool
    You ll learn things they don t teach in school
    And lessons...

    Sophronie

    My Sophronie s from Kentucky, she s found another man
    Can t even kiss her, can t even hold her hand
    The moon we used to love beneath is still up in the sky
    But now I m just a hotshot with a teardrop in my eye...

    Let a boy cry

    I pass through noise and silence, I walk alone
    It s a beautiful day, it s raining and it s cold
    Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see?
    The trembling image of my eyes that are still free
    I pass through noise...
