Near Beer - Pax Americana Lyrics

Tell your friends we're coming up from underneath
Someone said something about some warning sign I guess we're taking to the streets

I shrugged a shrug So what - so what - so what's
The plan? I'm not certain where we're going
But we can see that folks are mad

A posture is a stance I felt our bodies fold in half
The neighbor kids threw a party again
Where they're hanging your ex-boyfriend's dad

Well he was a dick For sure
You're sure Yeah we're all so sure
Are you as certain about your future -
As your parents were - about theirs and yours - - so sure

Pax Americana
Singing slogans for the melodies
Take a drink when you get thirsty
For the blood of your enemies

You said I ride the brake
When you wanted to accelerate
You put one foot on each pedal
But this is no time to moderate

If you agree Then I agree Cool we all agree
We get so tired of all the thinking
So won't you pour a drink for me

Pax Americana
Kids throw knives at their parents' feet
Pax Americana
Now you're prepping for a world war III

We felt the weight of history
Crushing down it goes
Bring us to our knees
So that we all can know
What it's like to be
Part of some show

Where the heroes are dicks
But we watch them win every week
We watch their money make them money
Watch them laugh - while we all compete

For a sliver of dignity
We got nothing to show
They start a colony
And they watch it grow
Pax Americana -
Now we're learning how to drink for free
