[Verse 1] Black cats showing up out of nowhere Macbeth on heavy rotation Hope dies at last and we don't care A young girl screams death to the nation A Greek god on the back of a stallion Coming up on a three-lane highway Prepare for the death of a billion Wake up at the end of my day [Refrain 1] Wake up at the end of my day [Verse 2] Last stand in a shade of vermilion Lips sealed and trembling irate Prepare for the death of a billion Wake up at the end of my day Don't cry for the weak and neglected Go blind in the cage we erected Stand tall with the rage of a storm now Kill hope for the age 'cause we know how [Refrain 2] Cower in shame Cower in shame Come on now Who gonna weep for the dead? Cower in shame Come on now Who gonna weep for the dead? [Outro] Bow down to the American way Bow down to the American way Bow down to the American way Bow down to the American way
