Mourning In America - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Written by：Ted Leo

A white face

In a white crowd

The day it starts

And it gets harder

Just to stand out

Someone everyone

Organically can hang with

Or someone cynically

Manipulating language

Whoever told you that

We needed you to be this

We've all been sold

A bill of goods if we

Believe it

Another warning from

The well of true believers

There will be mourning

In America and we say

You summon ghosts

We tried to bury

In their white shrouds

With burning 'cross

And bloody crescent

In the white house

You come on something

Like the faces I remember

1980 Mississippi rising

From the ash and embers

Never now can I imagine

Me forgiving you

Never now can I imagine

How to live with you

Another warning from

The lake of people bleeding

There will be mourning

In America if you keep it up

Up from the sultry

Air of the south

Of a time gone by to

Your mercurial mouth

And where the buses in Boston

That have idled for years

Ride the line to orange County

And the fare is the fears

Of the long manipulated

And the willfully dumb

You better watch

What you ask for

'Cause someday

It might just come
