1.Monster.
Once the religious,the hunted and weary,
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope,
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope.
Like good Christians,some would burn the witches,
Later some got slaves to gather riches.

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild.
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light.

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went.
And 'till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end.
While we bulled,stole and bought our a homeland,
We began the slaughter of the red man.

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild.
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light.

The blue and grey they stomped it,
They kicked it just like a dog.
And when the war was over,
They stuffed it just like a hog.

And though the past has its share of injustice.
Kind was the spirit in many a way.
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey.

2.Suicide.
The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seems generous and kind.
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country,
But now they won't pay it no mind.
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke.
They babble about law and order,
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told.

Yeah,there's a monster on the loose.
It's got our heads into a noose.
And it just sits there watchin'.

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land,
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand.
We don't know how to mind our own business,
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us.
Now we are fighting a war over there.
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost.

'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

3.America.
America,where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now,
We can't fight alone against the monster.
