Machine Head - In Comes The Flood lyrics
rate meAll hail!
Praises be to thee
Oh, ye paper deity
As we hail our sacred cow
To the bankers we will bow
Endless profit from their wars
Making slaves of all the poor
A new god is on the hill
The Almighty dollar bill
I wanna burn down Wall Street, baby
And fan the flames of discontent, like Hades
Saints of red, white, and blue
Pass bonds of junk to you
our flag is all but bled to green
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
Live to buy, or time die
It's all for sale on credit line
Till the fucking end of time
Shackled to the dotted line
Oh, the market may be free
But not for you and me
Succumb as we forget
To the angel of debt
I don't give a fuck if I'm rich, motherfucker!
We bought that line 'cause we're a bunch of suckers
We're fighting for the scraps
We've let our conscience lapse
By turning cash into a god
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
Monytheistic religion
Saints of the red, white, blue, and green
Who dare to inflate my life's interest
Until their fat bellies burst at the seams
Our lives are nothing more to them
Than a snap financial decision
Blinded by a TV screen
All hail the American dream!
And woe to thee
A life empty
If we hold this dear
Then lose our fear
America
Wake up!
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
In comes the flood
Wake up, America!
