מילים לשיר Monster – Steppenwolf

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches They came by thousands to court the wild
To be their spirit and guiding light
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
But still from near and far to seek America And once the ties with the crown had been broken
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
But still from near and far to seek America
We began the slaughter of the red man They came by thousands to court the wild
To be their spirit and guiding light
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child The blue and grey they stomped it
And when the war over
They kicked it just like a dog
They stuffed it just like a hog And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey The spirit was freedom and justice
(Suicide)
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
And it just sits there watchin'
They babble about law and order
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
It's got our heads into a noose
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
And it just sits there watching (America)
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
America where are you now?
We can't fight alone against the monster.
