Lyrics

Sally bought a snake plant from Big Store, U.S.A.
Her virus check finally came through
While Trace drives down the highway in his truck 'cause it's all fake
Waves two flags from his bed without a Truth

And they went down, down, down when it hit town
They went down, down, down when it hit town

'Cause ain't this the land of America?
Where you can dream to dream and you'd love to love?
Working hard will finally pay though
And barely strong, dressed as a dove, Uncle Sam helps from above 'cause
He's our real Savior from the Blues

Tucker took his baby to their favorite church to pray
Called themselves the "Angels from Afar"
Sped away before the body descended from the stage
Held up their sinner fingers while passing slower cars

And they went down, down, down when it hit town
They went down, down, down when it hit town

'Cause ain't this the land of America?
Where you can dream to dream and you'd love to love?
Working hard will finally pay though
And barely strong, dressed as a dove, Uncle Sam helps from above 'cause
He's our real Savior from the Blues

Karen called the poor soul in charge to simply take
Her words as the donation he would need
She always knew her rights, if she knew her wrongs I think she'd break
Some things to her are better left unseen

And she went down, down, down when it hit town
She went down, down, down when it hit town

'Cause ain't this the land of America?
Where you can dream to dream and you'd love to love?
Working hard will finally pay though
And barely strong, dressed as a dove, Uncle Sam helps from above 'cause
He's our real Savior from the Blues
