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
