I got a bad case of the American Blues
it's a weird place and that ain't news

Political hustlers on TV talking about Christ
Military's in Iraq pulling off an oil heist,
The average voter doesn't know day from night
The bars are full of apes looking for fights

Oh, got a bad case of the American Blues
every day just get more confused

Take Ashland, Oregon, this "liberal" city;
All the girls are so nice and pretty
(wearing clothes made in Asia
where the serfs slave away
almost every single day
and sleep on matresses of hay)

Got a bad case of the American Blues,
if I'm crazy, I got an excuse

Millions of souls locked up in prison
There's air-craft carriers doing our fishing,
Meth is spreading like the pox of old
Family values being bought and sold
Most the girls I date mine me for gold

Got a bad case of the American Blues,
It's an empire but that ain't on the news

Policemen with the manners of thugs
locking up hippies for smoking some nugs,
Little school kids getting too much math
and way too few hugs.
Yeah, it's a strange place to live
but every day there's love to give
