"New Americana" lyrics

Paint yourself with virtue
Let the small man drown
While your words are dripping poison
And you're choking just to get them down

Forget about it
Three cheers for the money
Yeah take all that you wanna
Don't cry about it
It's all for the money that true Americana
They lie and they lie
They lie ya they're lying
Forget about it
Don't mess with the money
The new Americana

Stuff the pig with paper
Til it's pockets swell
And you make yourself a martyr
While we're sentenced to a living hell

Forget about it
Three cheers for the money
Yeah take all that you wanna
Don't cry about it
It's all for the money that true Americana
They lie and they lie
They lie ya they're lying
Forget about it
Don't mess with the money
The new Americana

Robin and his band of merry men
Are climbing down to join the fun
Tell the truth and rouse the sleeping bear
It's one for all and all for one

Forget about it
Three cheers for the money
Yeah take all that you wanna
Don't cry about it
It's all for the money that true Americana
And you lie and you lie and you lie
You lie and you lie
Forget about it
Don't mess with the money
The new Americana
