AMERICAN STEEL LYRICS
"Insurrection Ave"
They wanna isolate the left
...isolate the right
...and all of us
They're gonna polarize the blacks
...polarize the whites
and everybody gets caught up in the fight
I read revolution on the Berkeley walls
while the red threat waved to the communist fall and from down here
I read four letter words on the bathroom stalls and in the union halls
the American Revolution is unfinished there won't be peace
until there's justice I've got my home-made bombs homespun charms
I'll meet you at the corner of Skid Row and Insurrection Ave.
I get no dough from the Pentagon I can't subsidize my family ties
with the IM Fund keep the workers working the Guvna say cool off
some cool off but I'm feeling red hot I'm feeling tension
in the melting pot They're gonna blur threat and catastrophe
they're gonna blur class lines they're gonna blur all the history
you can't see an enemy you can't define
They're gonna urge you to God and country
they're gonna urge you to cross picket lines
and while the trading is free far overseas
they're retouching borders we're all chained behind
