I’ll listen to your tired steps
Your baby will wait for you
There’s a perfect shining fire
That lights your way

I hide myself behind your black elegant suit
Watching the furious river of [bad word] through you
The [bad word] river of history is rolling into your chest

Why did you believe in god?
There is no heaven to thank
Why did you believe in America?
There’s just a mouth of fire to kiss

I’m not taking my guns to town
Dad, I don’t have chains around my feet again
Just a four coins Jesus icon in my pocket
And ticket for a place I’ll never know

The anger of America bleeds from your hands
The faith of America sleeps in your chest
No revenge, no blessing
