MONSTER - SUICIDE - AMERICA<br />
<br />
From the 1970 release "Monster" (Steppenwolf album)<br />
Words and music by John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Nick St. Nicholas and Larry Byrom<br />
<br />
(Monster)<br />
Once the religious, the hunted and weary<br />
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope<br />
Came to this country to build a new vision<br />
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope<br />
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches<br />
Later some got slaves to gather riches<br />
<br />
But still from near and far to seek America<br />
They came by thousands to…

(Monster)<br />
Once the religious, the hunted and weary<br />
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope<br />
Came to this country to build a new vision<br />
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope<br />
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches<br />
Later some got slaves to gather riches<br />
<br />
But still from near and far to seek America<br />
They came by thousands to court the wild<br />
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child<br />
To be their spirit and guiding light<br />
<br />
And once the ties with the crown had been broken<br />
Westward in saddle and wagon it went<br />
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean<br />
Many the lives which had come to an end<br />
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland<br />
We began the slaughter of the red man<br />
<br />
But still from near and far to seek America<br />
They came by thousands to court the wild<br />
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child<br />
To be their spirit and guiding light<br />
<br />
The blue and grey they stomped it<br />
They kicked it just like a dog<br />
And when the war over<br />
They stuffed it just like a hog<br />
<br />
And though the past has it's share of injustice<br />
Kind was the spirit in many a way<br />
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping<br />
Now it's a monster and will not obey<br />
<br />
(Suicide)<br />
The spirit was freedom and justice<br />
And it's keepers seem generous and kind<br />
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country<br />
But now they won't pay it no mind<br />
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy<br />
And now their vote is a meaningless joke<br />
They babble about law and order<br />
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told<br />
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose<br />
It's got our heads into a noose<br />
And it just sits there watchin'<br />
<br />
Our cities have turned into jungles<br />
And corruption is stranglin' the land<br />
The police force is watching the people<br />
And the people just can't understand<br />
We don't know how to mind our own business<br />
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us<br />
Now we are fighting a war over there<br />
No matter who's the winner<br />
We can't pay the cost<br />
'Cause there's a monster on the loose<br />
It's got our heads into a noose<br />
And it just sits there watching<br />
<br />
(America)<br />
America where are you now?<br />
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?<br />
Don't you know we need you now<br />
We can't fight alone against the monster "American humour"...

I had a good friend/lover (OK, more accurately, a fuck buddy) who came from Pleasanton. Never went there myself. She hated it. Escaped to the Mission District in S.F. Every once in awhile she would have to go do the family thing - which wasn't looked forward to except she got to see her nephew. She's buried there. 6 months after she died her ex-roommate called me up and told me that I should get tested. This was back when I had to argue with women to use condoms because they still thought it…
