American Screams

Can you face it? Can you embrace it? You can't replace, no The time you've wasted This panorama Portland to Alabama The ground you're standing To protect your family You double down when your back's against the wall You double down when you hear the dealer call You've got your good book all wrong You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work You've got your good book all wrong You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work I put my faith in only things that I can see And trust my eyes aren't playing tricks on me Down in the desert, outside the Mandalay Hoping and praying, didn't change a thing You double down when your back's against the wall You double down when you hear the dealer call You've got your good book all wrong You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work You've got your good book all wrong You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work You keep repeating that wicked catch phrase Painted on the interstate All the billboards, they get me lonely I can't sleep off all these American screams tonight You've got your good book all wrong You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work You've got your good book all wrong You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work You wanna do God's work? It's gonna be hard work
