The American Ruse - MC5[00:00:01]
They told you in school about freedom[00:00:10]
But when you try to be free they never let ya[00:00:12]
They said "it's easy nothing to it"[00:00:15]
And now the army's out to get ya[00:00:19]
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis[00:00:21]
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses[00:00:23]
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues[00:00:26]
And i'm finally getting hip to the American ruse[00:00:30]
I learned to say the pledge of allegiance[00:00:32]
Before they beat me bloody down at the station[00:00:37]
They haven't got a word out of me since[00:00:42]
I got a billion years probation[00:00:45]
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis[00:00:47]
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses[00:00:51]
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues[00:00:54]
And i'm sick to my guts of the American ruse[00:00:57]
Phony stars oh no crummy cars oh no [00:01:02]
Cheap guitars oh no Joe's primitive bar nah [00:01:11]
Rock'em back Sonic [00:01:18]
The way they pull you over it's suspicious[00:01:44]
Yeah for something that just ain't your fault[00:01:46]
If you complain they're gonna get vicious[00:01:49]
Kick in the teeth and charge you with assault[00:01:51]
Yeah but i can see the chickens coming home to roost[00:01:53]
Young people everywhere are gonna cook their goose[00:01:57]
Lots of kids are working to get rid of these blues[00:02:00]
Cause everybody's sick of the American ruse[00:02:03]
Well well well take a look around [00:02:05]
Well well well take a look around [00:02:11]
Well well well take a look around [00:02:14]
Well well well take a look around [00:02:17]
Well well well take a look around[00:02:20]
