Spiritual America |
America, America, far below |
Mysterious circles in desert and snow |
Forest and mountain, concrete and crow |
Shadow of cloud moving silent and low |
Scatter like veins, connected, entwined |
Rivers and lakes run like dark charcoal mine |
Become albumen prints in the plates of the spine |
Powder-wigged mortal meets gaze of divine |
Spiritual America |
Spiritual America |
Driven and callous, immune to the small |
Exquisitely bows to the war of the wall |
Welcomes the faithful to its crass altar-call |
Turns a blind eye to the fragile who fall |
Spiritual America |
Spiritual America |
All the good you we have done |
Could have done for everyone |
Is this the land of the setting sun? |
Have we forgotten who we were |
And why we came here anyway? |
So pick up the reins and kick the spur |
Shackled and shamed and stripped of its voice |
Left in a corner to suffer the noise |
Made by corporate thugs and their fat city boys |
Being sick on their wealth like they hadn’t a choice |
