Goodbye to what has been
Pretty house that we never settled in
A funeral for fair-weather friends

This house was built with blood and bones
And it crumbled, yes, it crumbled

American requiem
Them old ideas, are buried here
Amen.

Melting ice and methane gas
Toxic waste and plastic fish
We're digging holes to hide our trash
Unity reeks in all our songs
But we drew borders across our lands
A thousand years we been at war
