W.A.S.P. - Goodbye America

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 we give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I'm engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I'm wholeselling 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 man
In God we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth
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 form your ground
Humpty fuckin dumpty
My empire's falling down
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
Written by: Blackie Lawless
Album: Still Not Black Enough
Release: 1995

Sounds like Restless Gypsy, but that's okay, Restless Gypsy is a great song. Hey Blackie, why don't you collaborate with Dave Mustaine. You're both very similar. WASP is your band. Megadeth is Dave's band. He became a Christian. You became a Christian. More recently, he struggled with whether or not he should play the "darker" songs or not. More recently, you struggled with whether or not you should play the "darker" songs or not. I think you two should put out a whole album together.

These two men chronologically gave us a very clear and to the point history of the United States . Kay born in what is know as Russia 1944. Edmonton born 1946 in Oshawa, Ontario . Interestingly not natural born American . Though I am sure they have American citizenship . This song one of the bands many signature classic tunes . WASP song here is spot on as well .
