Hotel for Moses

When I was young I saw the flag
Paper airplanes in the trash
Baby all I see is pain
Just a symptom of my age
The thought alone made me cry
Some sacrosanct lullaby

Make me believe
Show me your teeth
Land of the free

Numbered bullets hit the ground
Vicious evening timpani sound
Smoke and roses in our eyes
We drink expensive pesticide
So come on
And tell me what I owe ya
Got a casket for Vincent
And a bed for your soldiers

Make me believe
Show me your teeth
Land of the free

Moses come down the mountain
He told them all
Cash your checks
Turned all the swords
Into pens
And we still found a way
To stab each other to death
How 'bout that?

So come on
Promise when its over
Stand guard at my grave
Like a terracotta Soldier, baby

Make me believe
Show me your teeth
Land of the free
Land of the free
