MC5 - The American Ruse lyrics

Your rating:


They told you in school about freedom 

But when you try to be free they never let ya 

They said "it's easy , nothing to it" 

And now the army's out to get ya 

Sixty nine America in terminal stasis 

The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses 

I'm sick and tired of paying these dues 

And i'm finally getting hip to the American ruse 



I learned to say the pledge of allegiance 

Before they beat me bloody down at the station 

They haven't got a word out of me since 

I got a billion years probation 



Sixty nine America in terminal stasis 

The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses 

I'm sick and tired of paying these dues 

And i'm sick to my guts of the American ruse

Phony stars, oh no! crummy cars, oh no! 

Cheap guitars, oh no! Joe's primitive bar... nah! 



Rock'em back, Sonic ! 

The way they pull you over it's suspicious 

Yeah, for something that just ain't your fault 

If you complain they're gonna get vicious 

Kick in the teeth and charge you with assault

Yeah, but i can see the chickens coming home to roost 

Young people everywhere are gonna cook their goose 

Lots of kids are working to get rid of these blues 

cause everybody's sick of the American ruse 



Well well well , take a look around ! 

Well well well , take a look around ! 

Well well well , take a look around ! 

Well well well , take a look around ! 

Well well well , take a look around !
