The carpenter went to his dark place again
Mouth full of gravy and turkey and truth
Only hears you when you say amen
So heavy is his burden of proof
�
Said his enemies he always outfoxes
So many dark forces at play
So many carpenters building little boxes
In the faded glory USA
�
When you look at me
I look away
�
I told him well I guess in my role
As a professional singer and ham
Instead of a cane I've got a broken soul
And it's with the deaf and dumb I stand
God bless your coldhearted causes
Your cartoons and curses are a bore
Your eyes aglow like stolen watches
The righteous so eager for war
�
When you look at me
I look away
�
Your god's a good chance to get stupid
It really brings up the blood
It will spin you dizzy as Cupid
Like a broken doll in a flood
�
You make me feel the noose is tightening
Though I know I lean melodramatic
The soundtrack for everything I see
Is played by those hacks from the Titanic
�
When they open fire
We look away
