Lyrics

Shout Shout In the howling wind Comes a stinging rain See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly A red orange glow See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below Woah-woah Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Woah-woah Bullet the blue (sky, ah) Bullet the blue (ah) In the locust wind Comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses See the flames, higher and higher Woah-woah Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue And this guy comes up to me His face red like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts as the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street We take the staircase to the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes deep into saxophone And through the walls we hear the city groan Outside it's America Outside it's America See across the field See the sky ripped open See the rain coming through the gaping wound Pelting the women and children Who run into the arms of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America (into the arms of America) Of America Of America Of America Of America (into the arms of America) Of America Of America Of America Of America (into the arms of America) Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America Of America
