lyrics

You can fool some of the people all the time
To chase a white whale under Stars and Stripes
I can't see the world through other peoples' eyes
But rags to riches is an ancient nursery rhyme

I'm at the mid point of my life
Can't take it back to a simpler time
From here on in it's slow then precipitous decline
Pax Americana
Well, goodbye

The world is a snake eating its own tail
Peace is hell, the torturers prevail
I remember when my knees first began to fail
Gotta flex your head to see things in a different way

It's not a low point in the history of our time
It's just political paradigm
It's in our gift to try and climb great heights
Pax Americana
Let's not lie

No golden past, we're nowhere near the pinnacle
Don't get nostalgic, it's oh-so-fucking cynical
Not left, not right, I won't align!

Hallucinate in a New World Order
No more Pax Americana
