==Lyrics==
The carpenter went to his dark place again 
Mouth full of gravy and turkey and truth 
Only hears you when you say amen 
So heavy is his burden of proof

Said his enemies he always outfoxes 
So many dark forces at play 
So many carpenters building little boxes 
In the faded glory USA

When you look at me 
I look away

I told him, "well I guess in my role 
As a professional singer and ham, 
Instead of a cane I’ve got a broken soul, 
And it’s with the deaf and dumb I stand"

God bless your coldhearted causes 
Your cartoons and curses are a bore 
Your eyes aglow like stolen watches 
The righteous so eager for war

When you look at me 
I look away

Your god’s a good chance to get stupid 
It really brings up the blood 
It will spin you dizzy as Cupid 
Like a broken doll in a flood

You make me feel the noose is tightening 
Though I know I lean melodramatic 
The soundtrack for everything I see 
Is played by those hacks from the ''Titanic''

When they open fire 
We look away
