Lieder, die man NACH Heilig Abend spielen kann! WAS ist NACH Weihnachten?

Umtausch-Blues

Over the fakes

[Verse 1]  
Raised under banners that promised the sky  
Taught to stand tall while the rivers ran dry  
Stripes faded to grease in the fast-food glow  
Stars auctioned off for a reality show  
They fed us the story in assembly-line halls  
Now the overdose sirens are making the calls  
Eagles replaced by surveillance in flight  
Liberty’s torch just a billboard at night  

[Hook]  
America, fractured miracle, glittering con  
Cathedrals of glass where the faithful are gone  
America, you swore we’d inherit the land  
Left us with dust and a gun in our hand  

[Verse 2]  
Amber waves buried beneath amber pills  
Majesty mined out for quarterly thrills  
Children duck under desks, learning the drill  
While senators banquet on Capitol Hill  
Freedom’s a trademark, stamped on the cage  
Healthcare’s a lottery, debt is the wage  
We march for the flag while the fields stay unsown  
And the wars keep on coming to harvest our own  

[Pre-Hook]  
Lower the volume on all of the cheers  
The anthem is hollow, nobody hears  

[Hook]  
America, fractured miracle, glittering con  
Cathedrals of glass where the faithful are gone  
America, you swore we’d inherit the land  
Left us with dust and a gun in our hand  

[Verse 3]  
Founders would choke on the air that we breathe  
Reality kings in the mansions they thieve  
Crosses for sale and cages for rent  
Moral outrage just another event  
This isn’t a glitch, it’s the original plan  
Empire devouring the heart of the man  

[Bridge]  
No more illusions of morning rebirth  
Just let the whole structure return to the earth  
No final redemption, no victory song  
Let the lights go out quiet  
Where they belong  

[Outro Hook]  
America… fractured miracle…  
Glittering con… fading slow…  
Promised the land… took our names…  
America… just let go  

[Final whisper, cold]  
Goodbye.
