New James McMurtry song, "God Bless America" |
|
I've only read about this song, nothing on youtube yet, but the lyrics are worth sharing.
"God Bless America "
Look yonder comin', mercy me Three wise men in a SUV Corporate logo on the side Air-conditioned quiet ride
That thing don't run on french fry grease That thing don't run on love and peace Takes gasoline make that thing go Now bring your hands up nice and slow
Take us to the land of milk and honey Sing and dance all night long Whatcha gonna do with all that money Whatcha gonna do when that money's all gone
Negotiation's just no fun And it don't serve our interests none Gonna turn up the heat till it comes to a boil So we can go get that Arab oil
And we'll suck it all up through the barrel of a gun Everyday's the end of days for some Republicans don't cut and run Tell me ain't you proud of what we've done
Take us to the land of milk and honey Sing and dance all night long Whatcha gonna do with all that money Whatcha gonna do when that money's all gone
You keep talking that shit like I never heard Hush, little President, don't say a word When the rapture comes and the angels sing God's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Take us to the land of milk and honey Sing and dance all night long Whatcha gonna do with all that money Whatcha gonna do when that money's all gone

His myspace page looks like crap on my browser. No sign of an mp3 link. Here is the thread I posted awhileback: God Bless America http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x572026

It appears it's not available for download, just for playing, the buttons underneath it (Download, Comments, etc.) don't work.

and I'm talking about Woody Guthrie, the young Dylan, Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs.
I loathe country as a genre, but his music is very, very listenable.
I need to find the new album.
On edit: he's lost the dobro and is now southern rock.
