Lyrics
America (You’re Freaking Me Out)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the lonely end of history
Swingin’ and swayin’ to the murder mystery
Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene
Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets
Oh, how do I steer my early 30s
Before I shipwreck, before I'm 40
Oh, ain’t it a shame what we choose to ignore
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?
Lately I feel like I'm in puppet Vichy France
Tryin’ to teach the devil how to dance
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Driving through the Bible Belt
Billboards claiming how Jesus felt
Oh, how’d his words confuse themselves?
With cranks for Christians in powerful positions
I’ve always felt like all their pomp and circumstance
Is just cover for the devil to dance
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
America, you’re freaking me out
With all my anger, I shout
Can’t you recognize
Truth from clever lies?
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
