Badland

I was born screaming astride the grave
To a whiplash chemical bombing slave
Hanging off a millstone nailed
To the teeth of Jesus that marked me fail

The clock is crawling up to noon
Judgment day is coming soon

Suck it all up and Americanize
And teach your god to weaponize

I cut my bolts with the blowtorch blues
Turn my monkey wrench and screw
I blitz and purge my vicious tongue
Cut my teeth and aim this gun

The bell is tolling with the proof
Playing three chords and the truth

Hurt seeks out the holy temple
Fury meets the fundamental
Feel the faith is wearing thin
On barren bones belief begins

Suck it all up and Americanize
And teach your god to weaponize

Burn your beliefs at the witching hour
Turn off reason and up the power
Now the rats rule the night
With a baseball bat and pure delight

The bell is tolling with the proof
Playing three chords and the truth

I’m no good, I’m not right
I burn and break in the red hot night
I’m no good, I’m not right
I burn and break in the red hot night

The supernova technique trap
Of every pain upon the map
The rod of rage writes the scar
Of the overdose in the hate bazaar

The bell is tolling with the proof
Playing three chords and the truth

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Suck it all up and Americanize
Teach your god to weaponize
Suck it all up and Americanize
Teach your god to weaponize

I’m no good, I’m not right
I burn and break in the red hot night
I’m no good, I’m not right
I burn and break in the red hot night

Death put your lips on mine
My liquor-drinking valentine
Death put your lips on mine
My liquor-drinking valentine

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

I cut my bolts with the blowtorch blues
I turn my monkey wrench and screw
I blitz and purge my vicious tongue
I cut my teeth when I aim this gun
The bell is tolling with the proof
Playing three chords and the truth
The bell is tolling with the proof
Playing three chords and the truth
The bell is tolling with the proof
Playing three chords and the truth
