6. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie (3:20)
[Verse 1]
America sucks! Yeah, what the fuck!
I'm thinking of moving overseas
The heart of this country has fallen apart
And the people, they grovel on their knees
I vote, and I vote, and I vote, but no results
Tell me what the hell is going on
I'll get on a boat, pack a lunch, and grab a six
And set the cruise control for Hong Kong
[Chorus]
We want the best, we get the worst
We won the West under the big, wide, blue sky
Forget the past, the duke is dead
We're fading fast, so let sleeping dogs lie
[Verse 2]
I'm sick of the sounds and sights and bright
Lights, as the Dixie band starts to play
There's lots of paper hats, and flags wave
But to me, it's just another day
I try, and I try, and I try to take a stand
But it gets thrown back in my face
Majority rules! Yeah, right, not here
It takes bucks to enter the race
[Chorus]
We want the best, we get the worst
We won the West under the big, wide, blue sky
Forget the past, the duke is dead
We're fading fast, so let sleeping dogs lie
[Solo]
[Chorus]
We want the best, we get the worst
We won the West under the big, wide, blue sky
Forget the past, the duke is dead
We're fading fast, so let sleeping dogs lie
America sucks! Yeah, what the fuck!
I'm thinking of moving overseas
The heart of this country has fallen apart
And the people, they grovel on their knees
I vote, and I vote, and I vote, but no results
Tell me what the hell is going on
I'll get on a boat, pack a lunch, and grab a six
And set the cruise control for Hong Kong
[Chorus]
We want the best, we get the worst
We won the West under the big, wide, blue sky
Forget the past, the duke is dead
We're fading fast, so let sleeping dogs lie
[Verse 2]
I'm sick of the sounds and sights and bright
Lights, as the Dixie band starts to play
There's lots of paper hats, and flags wave
But to me, it's just another day
I try, and I try, and I try to take a stand
But it gets thrown back in my face
Majority rules! Yeah, right, not here
It takes bucks to enter the race
[Chorus]
We want the best, we get the worst
We won the West under the big, wide, blue sky
Forget the past, the duke is dead
We're fading fast, so let sleeping dogs lie
[Solo]
[Chorus]
We want the best, we get the worst
We won the West under the big, wide, blue sky
Forget the past, the duke is dead
We're fading fast, so let sleeping dogs lie
