1. AMERICAN SUNSET

American sunset
You can see it from here
Off in the distance
Yet perfectly clear
Controlling the message
A circle of lies
The limitless profit
That influence buys

The carnival has come to town
The barkers are on parade
And the sun goes down

American sunset
Distraction’s the thing
When everything’s money
The con man is king
Millions of people
So willingly fooled
If you’re easily lied to
You’re easily ruled

The carnival has come to town
The barkers are on parade
And the sun goes down

American sunset
Mistaken for dawn
The lots have been chosen
The lines have been drawn
Divisions are tribal
You’re in ‘till you’re out
We scapegoat the stranger
We silence the doubt

American sunset
A threat to us all
When anger trumps reason –
Thinking –
The dominos fall

The carnival has come to town
The barkers are on parade
And the sun goes down

American sunset
You can see it from here
