Blood and Rust
With bodies piled on the courtroom floor
The hysterical crowd cheered for more
The hangman could not ignore
As the judge went runnin' out the door
The priest who gave the Sunday mass
Was arrested while the plate was passed
The stained-glass windows were a sight
As they crashed down from the heavenly heights
The people wished for long ago
They're imprisoned by their foe
The coins read "In God We Trust"
Now are smeared with blood and rust
The congressman was quite amused
For the crimes for which he stood accused
He begged and pleaded all day long
But no one would hear his sad old song
The people wished for long ago
They're imprisoned by their foe
The coins read "In God We Trust"
Now are smeared in blood and rust
Happier days they were thinkin' of
No longer a nation of trust and love
They gave peace a final shove
As the vultures circled high above
The hysterical crowd cheered for more
The hangman could not ignore
As the judge went runnin' out the door
The priest who gave the Sunday mass
Was arrested while the plate was passed
The stained-glass windows were a sight
As they crashed down from the heavenly heights
The people wished for long ago
They're imprisoned by their foe
The coins read "In God We Trust"
Now are smeared with blood and rust
The congressman was quite amused
For the crimes for which he stood accused
He begged and pleaded all day long
But no one would hear his sad old song
The people wished for long ago
They're imprisoned by their foe
The coins read "In God We Trust"
Now are smeared in blood and rust
Happier days they were thinkin' of
No longer a nation of trust and love
They gave peace a final shove
As the vultures circled high above
