lyrics
America
In the name of all the brave,
and all of the betrayed,
Sand Creek and White Antelope,
The President on the grassy knoll.
In the name of Martin Luther King,
And the beat poet Ali,
In the name of all those giants
On that shore in Normandy.
In the name of all the chapters,
Torn from your history books.
America, I love you,
Won't you tell me the truth.
In the name of Abu Ghraib,
And the protest in Iran,
In the name of Palestine,
And our friends in Vietnam
In the name of every child,
From here to Afghanistan
In the name of every word,
Twisted from the holy book
America,I Iove you,
America I love you,
Won't you tell me the truth.
In the name of all our brothers,
Uninsured on the night shift,
The soldiers and their mothers,
So very sure they're doing the right thing.
In the name of the creep,
Behind the lie on your TV screen
Poisoning the lifeblood,
Of the American dream.
In the name of all the voices,
So Silent on your news.
America, I love you,
Won't you tell me the truth.
In the name of New Orleans,
The abandoned and the damned.
All that's well intended,
In the colors of your flag
I know you know it takes,
More than muscle to be a man.
In the name of all the chapters,
Torn from your history books.
America, I love you,
Won't you tell me the truth.
In the name of every word,
Twisted from the holy book,
America, i Iove you,
Won't you tell me the truth.
Richard McGraw is an excellent live performer and intricate lyricist in the vein of Cohen, Dylan and Cave before him. Here, he offers an album of stunning covers and one damn good original too. Niall Connolly
A fascinating, appealing record no less “weird” than the rest of her oeuvre, but certainly the most weirdly versatile. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 25, 2022
