Goodbye America......

[jus_the_facts]

W.A.S.P.


I'm politically incorrect and damn proud of it
I love my country but I'm scared to death of its government
Ya believe what you read cause it's all that they give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I'm engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I'm wholeselling hatred and international incest
To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft fest
I've mastered the arts of death and foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me commit national suicide

I'm the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
I killed them all and stole their land
Enslaved the blacks and slaughtered the red man
In God we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth

I have more pigs than I have tits to feed
I embrace the world's phoney leaders
And hold the sucklings to my breast
And I'd fool you all as I'd feed ya
I'll prop you up then strike you down
And lick your blood up form your ground
Humpty fuckin dumpty
My empire's falling down

Breakdown, goodbye America
So long the music's died
Freedom's last hero's wasted
I made you, I'll break you
Breakdown, goodbye America
It's all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died

Mike SOS : Tell us a little bit about the mindset and emotions behind DYING FOR THE WORLD.
Blackie: Well, being from NY originally, I went back in October, you know, and went down to Ground Zero, and I don't have to tell you. Nothing we've seen is like that. The first thing that hit me when I was there was the smell; that heavy, electrical wire, electrical fire smell was the first thing I noticed. And, a few hours later, I went to get something to eat, and the stuff was draining down the back of my throat, and I could taste it in the food, and that just freaked me out, because I'd never experienced anything like that before. That's where the lyric comes from I have tasted hollow ground?, literally.

Mike SOS: What's your view on music censorship today as opposed to its founding days, when you were very much a part of that?
Blackie: Well, I don't feel any different now as I did then, with one exception. You know, Frank Zappa really protected us, and it's probably my place to do that for the younger bands now. He acted as a father figure for us then because he understood what it was all about because we were young and didn't understand the dangers. I do now, and I feel like his passing of the torch, my responsibility, Dee Snider's responsibility is to pick up that torch and really give the younger bands run interference, if you'd like, for the younger bands to have the freedom to do, as they want. The First Amendment is a touchy thing, man.

Mike SOS: It's so cool that you do that, because so many people don't care.
Blackie : You know what, you do this for 20 years like we've done; you really don't have a choice. It's not a question if you want it or not, it's been handed to you it's got to get done. Also remember the great gifts you were given in the beginning from guys like Frank Zappa and stuff. How can you not do that? If Jackie Robinson is going to pioneer baseball for black players, how can they not acknowledge him when it comes their time?

1. What I'll Never Find.....

Time to go away
Down a road I cannot hide
Will I have no name
For destiny's I cannot find
Will I wander alone
Forever's lonely road of time
Am I looking for what
I'll never find

Did you call my name
I will be leaving from this dream
Can you feel the pain
Slowly leaving me
Will you hold my hand
And ease me to the other side
Am I looking for what
I'll never find

Can you hear me
Can you hear me in the night
Will you feel me
If you leave me will I cry?
Can you hear me
Can you feel me say goodbye
