American Appetite

I sold
They vetted
The gold
Was leaded
If I
Told
All of them
It would’ve been a crime

Now
Ghosts
Walk through walls
And
Empty trading stalls
I watched
As they walked out in a line

I have always seen you
I have always seen you
I have always seen you

Paper
Shredded
My name
Beheaded
As long
As there was money
It was fine

Now George
Head of country
And all
His monkeys
Hadn’t
Turned their
Backs
No
They had given me the right

I have always seen you
I have always seen you
I have always seen you

Remember when you asked me If I was smart
Well I’m fucking smart
I was with the good guys
I was on the side of angels
In fact, I was an Angel
And you sit there on your couches watching me drown in your TV sets
And you think you know me
But you don’t know me
You don’t know me
But I have always seen you

I have always seen you
I have always seen you
I have always seen you
I have always seen you
