American

I was naked and for once I wasn't ashamed

I looked God in the eye and he spit in my face

He left me on Main Street and drove his Hummer away

The moon has been taken she knows who you are

The kingdom of heaven is down at the mall

There's a coat for St. Peter

It was made in Korea today

The Earth drops her jaw as we float into space

We're moving to Mars by 2038

You know that there's oil there

It's just a matter of time

I'm a Man

I am the world

I'm a Man

I am the Lord

I'm a Man

But I ain't that American

She pokes out of science

She changes her skin

He falls out of religion

And washes his sins

They get married in France

Cuz the deal is better out there

All the kids have grown up on driveways and lawns

And the hunters keep secrets on factory farms

The children are hungry

They're eating a hole through the world

Chorus

Eden's been stolen

Chopped up and leased

And her heart hits the market

Before it can bleed

Her name is forgotten

Her ocean is now just a dream

As his love slips away from his work and his home

He puts out the lights and jerks off alone

He's married to cancer

He counts on his Internet girl

I have played like a robot

I have danced like a stone

I've done everything perfect

And I want what I own

I am naked

And for once

I am not ashamed

Chorus
