America You’re Freaking Me Out by The Menzingers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the lonely end of history
Swingin’ and swayin’ to the murder mystery
Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene
Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets

[Verse 2]
Oh, how do I steer my early 30s
Before I shipwreck, before I'm 40
Oh, ain’t it a shame what we choose to ignore
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?

[Pre-Chorus]
Lately I feel like I’m in puppet Vichy France
Tryin’ to teach the devil how to dance

[Chorus]
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Driving through the Bible Belt
Billboards claiming how Jesus felt
Oh, how’d his words confuse themselves?
With cranks for Christians in powerful positions

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve always felt like all their pomp and circumstance
Is just cover for the devil to dance

[Chorus]
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out

[Bridge]
America, you’re freaking me out
With all my anger, I shout
Can’t you recognize
Truth from clever lies?

[Chorus]
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs
To big applause
With all of my anger, I scream and shout
America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
