In this chilling, distorted song Anohni allegorises the Earth as a cancerous woman’s body; being exploited and abused by humanity’s Americanised, capitalist nations and culture.
[Verse 1]
In the, in the countryside, under the streams
Suck the, suck the marrow out of her bones
Inject, inject, inject me with chemotherapies
Suck the, suck the money out of her face
[Chorus]
We are, we are all Americans now
[Verse 2]
Africa, Iceland, Europe, and Brazil
China, Thailand, India, and Great Britain
Australia, Borneo, and Nigeria
[Chorus]
We are, we are all Americans now
[Verse 3]
Suck the, suck the oil out of her face
Burn her, burn her, burn her hair, and boil her skin
[Chorus]
We are, we are all Americans now
