there s something in the water something sick in the blood and the oil see the white chicken grinning see the serpent in a horrible coil don t be scared by the stares of the peasants on the subway car because the way things seem in a dream is just the way that they are when i can feel god taking his eyes off you you were born for american soil every race has its place every nation fights for species survival i m a jew through and through and i m about to write you a bible now let me take your hand and show you through the twisted hallways of the house of song we got the magazine wall paper and the million dollar bills on the lawn oh and i can feel god taking his eyes off us we were born for american soil ya don t have to be clever to detect a big american sadness when the population rules every man has his hand in the madness well there s a dead grove a trees you can visit on the outside of town and there s digital dust inside the cemetery settling down woo and i can feel god taking his eyes off us we were born for american soil well now we have seen every baby has to have some kinda mother and father but the child s gone wild and the pieces got away from the author well if freedom isn t free all the bills must just be lost in the mail all the highways are on fire and the serpent is now eating its tail and we can feel god taking his eyes off us we were born for american soil
