lyrics

Welcome to the U.S.O
properly known for its offended
separate all the vegetables in the soil
cheap Monte salads for black and white homes
And ay hello to your new friend the gate of freedom
i'm always starring at, I never can get past
Cause some things in life the just ain't worth receiving
its a positive push, its a broke ass compass

Well we were
buried in kudzu that Japanese gum
the way it sticks to us
as we lay suspended in its vines
Counting dead bodies all of gods failed crops
how I wish it would stop
then again you come and ease my mind
So meet me at the harvest we'll all collect
our fears in buckets
and drink ourselves half to death
Cause we ain't go a savoir no Jesus Christ
but I can walk a straight line
give me ten more minutes and ill, give me ten more steps

and i'm
still checking to see if that front door is locked
but it don't matter much when there's bombs being drop
in your front yard

The first thing they'll take is the art work and drugs
then radio's and guns
and line us up by the fences
Down were the factories used to be
their all empty
now more smiling, grinding teeth
Do you know how it feels to have people hate you
not for what you do
but for what you simply are

Trading in your modern moccasins
for a pair of steel toed boots and a rifle with a lens
what happened

All that's left now is you and me
us godless freaks
still managing to find beauty
