Long Whip / Big America

Saw the news today

Some D.C. suit trying to break away

Said he lost another million

Just another old man

Tryin' to pass the buck with a dirty hand

(Good thing he knows his bible)

Stick his ass in hell

Even better, in this tiny cell

Make him understand the meaning

Of these words they try to preach

Just to keep them out of the nation’s reach

(I guess it's all for the better)

Take it all away

Take me

Won't you take me?

(Far away)

Hey, hey-hey

What's that game you play?

Will it make me richer?

'Cause I do not have a dime

And I hate to waste your time

Maybe I'm wrong

But I think this whip is too long

Whip's too long

Well, I was barely 21

Layin' in a ditch with a lonely gun

So I gave my heart away

But I got it back today

In a velvet box stamped USA

Now all the neighbors call me hero, hero

Goin' to lose my mind

So I buckled down and did some crime

But it wasn't when they taught me

Hit the road in high pursuit

Now I'm on the run just like the suit

(Didn't know it was this easy)

Take it all away

Take me

Won't you take me?

(Far away)

Hey, hey-hey

What's that game you play?

Will it make me a poor man?

'Cause I got an extra dime

But I lose it every time

Maybe I'm wrong

But I think this whip is too long

Hey, hey-hey

What's that game you play?

Will it make me richer?

'Cause I do not have a dime

And I hate to waste your time

Maybe I'm wrong

But I think this whip is too long

Way too long

No more, no more

See, I can't seem to find the time

To crawl across the line

But I can't stay here

No more, no more

See, I can't seem to find the time

To crawl across the line

But I can't stay here till I die
