Rattlesnake Wasteland

from The K​-​Mart Tapes volume 7 by Bill White

lyrics

I could be slicing sand
With malibu girls at sunset
Or beating a confessio out of a guy
Just to dance on the guts he spills

But Im looking across a rattlesnake wasteland
That stands between me and the black hills

Theyll shove it up your ass and down your throat
Theyre the ones who decide who will get your vote
They tell you the words yu can and cannot use
Who you gotta kiss up to and who you can abuse
The run the dope they sell the guns
They drink the blood of your first born sons
They know what you think before you think it
Put words in your mouth and then they sync it

But Im looking across a rattlesnake wasteland
That stands between me and the black hills

Theyve been busy since 1776
With their social experiments
Bringing in people from all kinds of places
Inciting and manipulating wars between the races
They ran a railroad through a burial ground
Electrocuted children on a merry go round
Yeah the United States is an experiment
On how to run a one world government

I could be dancig all night
with the Saturday girls in georgetown
Or rocking with Johnny
At the fish house on the pier

But Im looking across a rattlesnake wasteland
That stands between me and the black hills


I could be taking down fences
And burning barnyards
Robbing trains
Or hanging them that rob them

But Im looking across a rattlesnake wasteland
That stands between me and the black hills
