America Made Me
America made me, of brick and coal and rubber America made me, a camp and coy [?] little kickabout And look at me now Aluminum paved me I was primped and poised and shit out Antediluvian lady You won’t get far in a knockabout With your keeling around America made me, America saved me from myself And all these wishers-well America prayed me Allayed, a-lulled me to my knees And give me something sweet Maybe something that will get me back to sleep They told me to line up They said “Keep your mind out of the gutter Or it’s likely you’ll wind up in some dark hole all a-mutter about All the ways you’ve been wronged” So America, heal me Come kick my door off the hinges Swap me out for a real me One that’s not always going on about How he’ll never belong Letras de canciones America made me So America, save me from myself You long to, I can tell Abuse and abrade me I’m begging you on my hands and knees Just give me something soft and sweet Maybe something that won’t keep me from my sleep Oh no, give me something to sleep [?] From Letras Mania
