"First Born Son" lyrics

Somewhere in the sky past the light of sun
There's a hole that's swallowing you
America your angels have all gone away
You're a love we never knew, you're a ghetto with a view
You're a lonely face in the crowd
With arms that ache for machines to bring you home again
And hearts we sold to pay for someones else's war again

Livin' like the only thing you got to show are expensive ways to the grave
So dance with me to remember who we are again
'Cause there was no revolution just a new way to blow it all again

Somewhere in the middle I'll find my way
Yeah something like a prayer on Independence Day
Where hell is cheap and freedom is the lie I been sold
I'm gunna take it to the river, gunna wash my sins
I'm the first born son of this mess we're in
Now it's hallelujah at the end of the world tonight

Marilyn before you die sing a lullaby about the company of men
As the wolves you keep come scratchin' for their meat again
And we'll save a lock of hair so the country can believe again
'Cause you never owned what you seemed to of gone and sold again
Now it's you and me and the devil to sing this song
About everything that we done wrong

Somewhere in the middle I'll find my way
Yeah something like a prayer on Independence Day
Where hell is cheap and freedom is the lie I been sold
I'm gunna take it to the river, gunna wash my sins
I'm the first born son of this mess we're in
Now it's hallelujah at the end of the world tonight

Somewhere in the sky past the light of sun
There's a hole that's swallowing you
