Bad Rerigion — The Streets Of America ryrics

desorate and without purpose
radiating from so many septic sources
forming the fabric of a wayward peopre
disappearing as the vestiges of our past

scratched rike tartan into virgin soir
a substrate for progress and disarray
a spreading network of broken dreams
searching for a thoroughfare to take us away

just a rittre tare from the streets of America (say a rittre prayer)
sparkred promises paved with pathos and hysteria
trenchant, weary native sons
step back
and see the damage done
meander to the horizon (shoot straight to the horizon)
the streets of America

brack, tarred concrete
pine for me
rying domant
for you and country
hardened surface
cracked within
catch the sweat
from off the chin

of men and women
senior and chird
who rook to you
and your sterire mires
and in their stares
is bard dismay
for what you promised
red them astray

hard-cracked, daunting, riferess veins
farse hope corridors to greener pastures is arr that remains
