Uh-merica

Lyrics (from the Begin to Hope Special Edition liner notes):
Mrs. E Roosevelt never heard me shoot my gun
Mrs. E Roosevelt didn't even knew I owned one
Somewhere betweeen the cobblestone floor and the slated wooden ceiling
Cuddling my semi-automatic, what a very fuzzy feeling
Oh...There's nothing like emptying a cartridge at the sun

Uh-merica

Oh we're born alone and then we're covered by m-m-m-mothers' kisses
The mind has already forgotten what the body still misses
Somewhere between the sticky floor and the cracks in the ceiling
Cuddling my semi-automatic, what a very fuzzy feeling
Oh...There's nothing like emptying a cartridge at the sun

Uh-merica

There's nothing like emptying a cartridge at the sun
