lyrics

Thinking of Sunflower Sutra, Allen Ginsberg.

The news just broke over my head and I don’t know what to say
I never thought it’d come to this so keep ‘em coming, keep ‘em coming, cause I

I don’t think I’ll be coming home for a long, long time
Please don’t try to speak, the things you say make me hate you so
Land of the just, land of the free, free to hate anybody you please
Lady liberty, do you want to crumble to the ground?
Well lay down with me.
‘Cause I don’t think I’ll be coming home for a long, long time

So take back your American dream and your sunshine streets
Don’t you know they don’t need your electroshock therapy, or your wall
Sunflowers die before my eyes and I know why the poets cried
So when you shout, “We are righteous!” I hope you believe all your lies

‘Cause I don’t think I’ll be coming home for a long, long time
Please don’t try to speak, the things you say make me hate you so
Land of the just, land of the free, free to hate anybody you please
Lady liberty, do you want to crumble to the ground?
Well lay down with me.
‘Cause I don’t think I’ll be coming home for a long, long time

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna come home no more
When Lady Liberty’s broken down inside
Like a rusty pickup truck you promised to fix
I don’t think I’ll be coming home for a long, long time
