Machine Head

Machine Head - In Comes The Flood lyrics

rate me

All 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!
