An American Ideal of Beauty
This is an American ideal of beauty
Put up, shut up, do your duty
It’s a curse, a punishment
The poison gift that you repent
You will ignite, aim and shoot
Clap for chaos and execute
I’ve been born again
Now hook me up
You have sworn me in
Now cook me up
I’ll bury my dead insurrection
Cashing cheques of no direction
Cross my heart with bloody lies
I’m calling Jesus when I die
This is an American ideal of beauty
Put up, shut up, do your duty
This is an American ideal of beauty
Stand up, shut up, do your duty
Give me noise, need and nerve
The wicked road that you deserve
I will dissolve the bread of sorrow
My dirty work waits ‘til tomorrow
Let’s bury that dead insurrection
Cashing cheques of no direction
Cross my heart with bloody lies
I’m calling Jesus when I die
This is an American ideal of beauty
Put up, shut up, do your duty
This is an American ideal of beauty
Stand up, shut up, do your duty
I’ve seen the sign
See the poison drip, drip, drip
‘Til the end of time
I hear them keen
At the endless shame of the new regime
I’ll bury my dead insurrection
Cashing cheques of no direction
Cross my heart with bloody lies
I’m calling Jesus when I die
This is an American ideal of beauty
Put up, shut up, do your duty
This is an American ideal of beauty
Stand up, shut up, do your duty
This is an American ideal of beauty
