"Long Whip / Big America" lyrics - CORROSION OF CONFORMITY

Saw the news today
Some D.C. suit trying to break away
Said he lost another million
Just another old man trying to
Pass the buck with a dirty hand
Good thing he knows his bible

Stick his ass in hell
Ever better in in this tiny cell
Make him understand the meaning
Of these words they try to preach
Just to keep them out of the nations reach
I guess it's all for the better

Take it all away
Take me
Won't you take me far away
Hey, hey-hey what's
That game you play
Will it make me richer?
'Cause I do not have a dime and
I hate to waste your time
Maybe I'm wrong but I think
This whip is too long

[Solo]

Now I was barely 21
Laying in a ditch with a loaded gun
So I gave my heart away
But I got it back today
In a velvet box stamped USA
Now all the neighbors call me hero

I was about to lose my mind so
I buckled down and did some crime
But it wasn't what they taught me
Hit the road in high pursuit now
I'm on the run just like a suit
Didn't know it was this easy

Take it all away
Take me
Won't you take me far away
Hey, hey-hey what's
That game you play
Will it make me poorer?
'Cause I do not have a dime and
I hate to waste your time
Maybe I'm wrong but I think
This whip is too long

[Solos]

Hey, hey-hey
What's that game you play?
Will it make me richer?
'Cause I do not have a dime and
I hate to waste your time
Maybe I'm wrong but I think
This whip is too long

No more, no more
See I can't find the time
To crawl across the line
But I can't stay here

No more, no more
See I can't find the time
To crawl across the line
But I can't stay here till I die

[Solos]
