lyrics
There was a cabin in Montana got shipped to way down south
Locked away in a warehouse with this bad taste in my mouth
In my mouth
Well you can take that road from Lincoln
To where there ain’t no telephones
But you’ll always be under a hole in the ozone Under a hole in the ozone
Now everything in old America
Got locked away in that warehouse of shame So the sun will shine on this new America That flatfooted land where no one is to blame
In a court in Sacramento the math professor sits
The sad, pathetic scapegoat for all the sins that we commit
So you take that road to Helena where Atlas gave up the fight
Get out of the car and find yourself in a burnt over district tonight
In this burnt over district tonight
Now everything in old America
Got locked away in that warehouse of shame So the sun will beat down on this new America That flatfooted land where no one is to blame
Who has clipped the lion’s wings Fleaed his rump and pared his claws
Locked away in a warehouse with this bad taste in my mouth
In my mouth
Well you can take that road from Lincoln
To where there ain’t no telephones
But you’ll always be under a hole in the ozone Under a hole in the ozone
Now everything in old America
Got locked away in that warehouse of shame So the sun will shine on this new America That flatfooted land where no one is to blame
In a court in Sacramento the math professor sits
The sad, pathetic scapegoat for all the sins that we commit
So you take that road to Helena where Atlas gave up the fight
Get out of the car and find yourself in a burnt over district tonight
In this burnt over district tonight
Now everything in old America
Got locked away in that warehouse of shame So the sun will beat down on this new America That flatfooted land where no one is to blame
Who has clipped the lion’s wings Fleaed his rump and pared his claws
