about

Finalist, Roddy Read Memorial Songwriting Award, 2014
Individual Americans are usually pretty awesome people, but – like Australians – if you put enough of them together things get a bit crazy. I couldn't have written this after Trump: shit just got so much realler.

lyrics

Oh, Americans

Clinging to their freedom like a lollipop

Getting high on the sugar while their teeth just rot
How did it begin? and tell me when will it stop?
Oh, Americans

Oh, Americans

Calling for the government to leave ’em alone
Regulating vaginas ’til the cows come home
Where did it come from? and how far will they go?
Oh, America

For every Woody Guthrie there’s a dozen Joe McCarthys
You silence all your Martin Luther Kings

You turn away from greatness for the shallowest embraces
And never stop to think about for whom the bell rings

It rings for you, America

Your voice has gotten louder and your stick’s still big
You’re blowing down the houses of the little pigs
That hole’ll just get deeper for as long as you dig

Oh, America
