G The ragged flags of Washington No one lives here anymore Are beating dusty air Em Their Gucci Loafers lead us down Oh you'd best just go home To manicured despair G You came here in your German car Betwixt a hostile Em government and And drove up to our home Abandoned fatal clay Salad forks won't help you get your way C You ask for seeds D Bury me beneath that tree 'cause you can't see My father's father's grove G D C (Em in the last verse) My sons may leave the old country Ye stand on foreign soil But bones cannot be sold C D G pH will be the least of many foils This store's changed hands so understand You're not welcome any more In our land of barren furnaces We'll Chuck out all you lying cheating whores! And rusting metal scrap There's nothing for you city folk We've surely seen your back While you were plantin' gummy bears In suburban polity The land was shifting right beneath your feet
