Sleeve art by Ross McDonald

lyrics

When freedom has become a taboo phrase
And bloodlust senators shout “Damn yr fifth amendment!”
It seems that this once golden land has bolted up its doors
And must go through Hellfire to cleanse its soul

It was a chance to toil with sweat and tears
It’s even worse to lose hope in McCarthyville
And they seemed to promise us their better world
But we’re stuck in ruts in McCarthyville

When the dollar in the pocket pays for contra rockets
And politicians feed themselves on dope dealings
It seems that this country has taken a batch of terror-colonels
And held them up as heroes to tomorrow's leaders
