America Made Me

Lyrics for America Made Me

America made me Of brick and coal and rubber America made me A camp and cold little kickabout And look at me now Aluminum paved me I was primped and poised and shit out Antediluvian lady You won't get far in a knockabout With your keel in the ground American made me America save me from myself And all these wishers-well America parade me I dare you to lull me to my knees And give me something sweet Maybe something that will get me back to sleep They told me to line up They said, keep your mind out of the gutter Or it's likely you'll wind up In some dark hole all a-mutter bout All the ways you've been wronged So American heal me Come kick my door off the hinges Swap me out for a real me One that's not always going on about How he'll never belong America made me So America save me from myself You long to, I can tell Abuse and abrade me I'm coming to you on my hands and knees Just feed me something soft and sweet Maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep Oh no, give me something to sleep Give me something to sleep And maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep Oh no, give me something to sleep A little something to sleep Maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep Something to sleep Something to sleep A little something to sleep Maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep Oh no, something to sleep Just a little something to sleep Maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep Oh no, something to sleep Just a little something to sleep Maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep
