מילים לשיר Wasteland Of The Free – Iris Dement

Living in the wasteland of the free. We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ's disciples
but they don't look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass
You may call me oldbut that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job
to some thirdand it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free We got highwho cannot pass a sixthbut if you ask them, they can tell you
the name of every crotch on mTV
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he's standing up for what he believes in.
