Well, this is one interesting (and misheard) song with an even better music video. Enjoy!
Verse 1:
Em C
Cling to your God and guns,
G D
The banjo’s playing Hot Cross Buns,
Em C
Bucket seats set to recline,
G D
No need to cross the county line.
Em C
Are the Arabs closing ranks,
G D
About to roll some Russian tanks?
Em C
Shut the doors and save the kids,
G D
Lock and load - just like Jesus did.
Chorus:
G D
The United States of Amnesia
Em C
Make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia.
G D
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya,
Em C G D Em C
It’s the zen and the art of xenophobia.
G D Em C
Verse 2:
Em C
Let’s keep them separate,
G D
Melanin just can’t succeed.
Em C
“Give me liberty… or something.”
G D
It’s better if you just don’t read.
Em C
Crank your phasers up to “slaughter”
G D
Turn your wine back into water.
Em C
When you play this song, Al Qaeda wins,
G D
And Jesus was American.
Chorus:
G D
The United States of Amnesia
Em C
Make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia.
G D
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya,
Em C G
It’s the zen and the art of xenophobia.
D
The United States of Amnesia
Em C
Make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia.
G D
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya,
Em C G
It’s the zen and the art of xenophobia.
