Lyrics:
Some Stuff to Like in America
Some Stuff to Like in America
Some Stuff to Like in America
Some Stuff to Like in America
A patch of grass off the I-80 entrance ramp.
An ironic memory offered at a Jersey funeral.
A patch of grass on the highway's shoulder.
A lovely lawyer sings the 21st psalm
A hearse that stops beyond a light,
A gas station, abandoned on the right.
An honest observation
Made in eulogy
Stuff Not to Like in America
Stuff Not to Like in America
Stuff Not to Like in America
All the junk that's said before or after that funeral
The details in the rocks of our country's schizophrenic body
The parts of the Interstate where blood red rock
is obscured by a metal fence.
How soft-hearted kids are put in hard-hearted hearses
How even death don't get a proper funeral.
Stuff to Like and Not to Like in America
Just so much Stuff Not to Like in America
So much Stuff
So much Stuff
So much American
Stuff
