Steppenwolf: Monster/Suicide/America

(MONSTER)
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives whic;h had come to an end
Wile we bullied, stol and bought our homeland
We began the sloughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and borre a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectectors and friends have been sleeeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)

The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind


It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people fat and got lazy
And now the vote is a meaningless joke
They bable about law and order
But it's all just and echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'
Our cities have turn into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
the police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our odwn business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over ther
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got out heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)

America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
