American Wasteland Lyrics

[Intro]
Barney Miller was a cop
Barney Miller was a cop
He's dead
This guy's a poser
This next song is called "American Wasteland"

[Verse 1]
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperatures dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leprous faces

[Verse 2]
Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets

[Chorus]
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

[Verse 3]
Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the briefcase blues

[Chorus]
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

[Verse 4]
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blasting disintegrating
Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm saying?
And everywhere I look, there's a devil waiting

[Chorus]
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's

[Outro]
Can I get a little more guitar in the monitors?
Turn the bass down a little bit too
This next song is called "Go To Hell"
