Lucid Nation - "You Ese" - cassette rehearsal recording

Описание: Rehearsal recording on a Panasonic cassette recorder, you know, the kind with the built in plastic handle. A silly almost rockabilly dystopian ditty about Putin's wet dream of a neutered America. The eerie sound near the end is a Rand-O-matic guitar pedal~

You Ese

America as Russia
America is Russia
America ask Russia
America is Russia

Ineffective and neglected
exasperated and full of hate
better watch out what you say
what ever happened to you, ese?

America ask Russia...

Everybody's poor behind locked doors,
Rich people only want more
America as Russia, a fl-eeced state
what ever happened to you, ese?

Our leader is a billionaire
all we care about is his hair
America as Russia
a karmic ricochet
what ever happened to you, ese?

America ask Russia
America is Russia
America ask Russia
America is Russia

Oh oh oh oh
oh say can you see?
oh oh oh oh
Jose can you see?

Emmanuel, it's all gone to hell,
no one cares, they just stare
and so Macbeth sees the ghost
then we become what we fear most

America ask Russia
America is Russia
America as Russia
America is Russia

Law and order
searchlights and borders
bullies and stoolies
cameras and recorders
we pretend to work
they pretend to pay
it's May Day every day they say

One thing we know
nothing is true
at least both flags
are red white and blue
so we obey
or they'll say
whatever happened to you, ese?

Oh oh oh oh
oh say can you see?
