Cory Branan - Another Nightmare In America [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

You uppity little ghost
Don't you even know you're dead
We police the past
Your future's in your head
We've hollowed out our bibles to hide our golden guns
We've raised a silver gallows and the jewelry of your sons
A tattered flag is crimson with a blood that can't be wrong
Take one last drag of night air
Cinch that blackness in a lung
As we hoist another nightmare

Look away
Look away
Move along, nothing to see here
Look away, hey you there
Are you even supposed to be here
We don't need a reason
Keep your dreams where we can see them
Like that, aww baby, right there

It's just another nightmare in America
It's just another nightmare in America

Ain't no use praying
There's no soul there save
Boy you're just the difference
'tween a hole and a grave
And that's exactly how they'll mark it
Even if a camera sees us
I'll fill out some paperwork and sleep like baby Jesus

Look away
Look away
Move along, nothing to see here
Look away, hey you there
Are you even supposed to be here
We don't need a reason
Keep your dreams where we can see them
Just like that, aww baby, right there

It's just another nightmare in America
It's just another nightmare in America

That jury don't look so sad to me
That conviction makes it right
What you're calling a tragedy
I call just another night
We all pray to firepower
And really what did you expect
If you'll allow me to interpret
The power to protect
I'd say it's six in the chest, two in the neck

You look away
Look away
Move along, nothing to see here
Look away, hey you there
Are you even supposed to be here

We don't need a reason
These bullets scream for freedom
Just like that, aww baby, right there

It's just another nightmare in America
(Oh say, can you see)
It's just another nightmare in America
(Oh say, can you see)
It's just another nightmare in America
(Oh say, can you see)
It's just another nightmare in America
(Oh say you can see)
