作曲 : Burroughs, Denning | |
For John Dillinger | |
In hope he is still alive | |
Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts — | |
Thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison — | |
Thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger — | |
Thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcass to rot — | |
Thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes — | |
Thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through — | |
Thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches, for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces — | |
Thanks for “Kill a Queer for Christ” stickers — | |
Thanks for laboratory AIDS — | |
Thanks for Prohibition and the War Against Drugs — | |
Thanks for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business — | |
Thanks for a nation of finks — | |
Yes, | |
Thanks for all the memories… all right, let’s see your arms… | |
You always were a headache and you always were a bore | |
Thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams. |
