AMERICAN RUSE


They told you in school about freedom
But when you try to be free they never letcha
They say it's easy, there's nothin' to it
And now the Army's out to getcha

Chorus:        '69 American terminal fascists
                    The air so thick it's like drownin' in molasses
                    I'm sick and tired of payin' these dues
                    And I'm sick to my guts of the American Ruse

They make you say the Pledge of Allegiance
Before they beat you bloody down at the station
They havn't got a word outta me since
I got a million years probation

Different Chorus

Bridge:          Crummy Cars (oh no)
                    Phoney stars (oh no)
                    Cheap guitars (oh no)
                    Jones primative bars -- Welcome Back Sonny!

Now when they pull you over it's suspicious
For sumethin' that just ain't your fault
If you complain they're gonna get vicious
Kick you in the teeth and charge you with assault

Chorus:

Well, well, well, take a look around X 5
