Still Not Black Enough is the sixth studio album by an American heavy metal band W.A.S.P. Album was first released in 1995 and was originally slated for release as a Blackie Lawless solo album but due to the heavy content, Blackie changed his mind and decided to release it as a W.A.S.P. album, which had also been the case for The Crimson Idol. Ironically as well, Still Not Black Enough is a sort of spiritual successor to The Crimson Idol, bearing a strong resemblance with it as far as sound and lyrical themes are concerned. This album is mostly a collection of songs about Blackie Lawless himself. Here is the #5 track named "GOODBYE AMERICA".

LYRICS:
I'm politically incorrect and damn proud of it
I love my country but I'm scared to death of its government
Ya believe what you read cause it's all that they give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I'm engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
And I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I'm whole-selling hatred and international incest
To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft fest
I've mastered the arts of death and foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me commit national suicide
I'm the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
I killed them all and stole their land
Enslaved the blacks and slaughtered the red men
In God we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth
REF:
Breakdown, Goodbye America
So long the music's died
Freedom's last hero's wasted
I made you, I'll break you
Breakdown, Goodbye America
It's all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died
I have more pigs than I have tits to feed
I embrace the world's phoney leaders
And hold the sucklings to my breast
And I'd fool you all as I'd feed ya
I'll prop you up then strike you down
And lick your blood up from your ground
Humpty-fuckin-dumpty
My empire's falling down
REF:
Breakdown, Goodbye America
So long the music's died
Freedom's last hero's wasted
I made you, I'll break you
Breakdown, Goodbye America
It's all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died
"The hour is late, the clock of destiny is ticking out. America has become a schizophrenic personality. For years, most of these people have been dominated politically, exploited economically, segregated and humiliated by some foreign power. America has trampled over the dream. The price that the United States must pay is the price of its own destruction!"
REF:
Breakdown, Goodbye America
So long the music's died
Freedom's last hero's wasted
I made you, I'll break you
Breakdown, Goodbye America
It's all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died
