lyrics

You uppity little ghost- don’t you even know you’re dead?
We police the past, your future’s in your head
We’ve hollowed out our bibles to hide our golden guns
We’ve raised a silver gallows in the jewelry of your sons
That tattered flag is crimson with a blood that can’t be wrung
Take one last drag of night air
Cinch that blackness in a lung
As we hoist another nightmare

Look away, look away, move along- nothing to see here
Look away, hey you there- are you even supposed to be here?
We don’t need a reason, keep your dreams where we can see them
Just like that- Aw baby right there
Just another nightmare in America

Ain’t no use praying, there’s no soul there to save
Boy, you’re just the difference between a hole and a grave
And that’s exactly how they’ll mark it, even if a camera sees us
I’ll fill out some paperwork and sleep like baby Jesus

Look away, look away, move along- nothing to see here
Look away, hey you there- are you even supposed to be here?
We don’t need a reason, keep your dreams where we can see them
Just like that- Aw baby right there
Just another nightmare in America

Jury don’t look so sad at me, like conviction makes it right
What you’re calling a tragedy I call just another night
We all pray to fire power and really what did you expect?
If you’ll allow me to interpret the power to protect
I say it’s six in the chest, two in the neck

You look away, look away, move along- nothing to see here
Look away, hey you there- are you even supposed to be here?
We don’t need a reason, these bullets scream for freedom
Just like that- Aw baby right there

Just another nightmare in America
Oh say can you see?
Just another nightmare in America
Oh say you can see

about

Cory Branan Nashville, Tennessee

Throughout his decade-and-a-half-long career, Cory Branan has been too punk for country, too country for punk, too Memphis for Nashville, and probably a little too Cory Branan for anyone’s damn good.
