She took me from over the ocean gave me Wild West and that was just the start.
Killing Indians and anybody unwilling to live inside her jar.
Took me somewhere over the rainbow on a bird past the moons of planet Mars.
She was so whoa proud to be the only girl with wings who played a HAARP.
I’m through loving that girl, through some necrophiliac.
I’m letting go of hatred if I don’t shit’s coming back.
While I said my Pledge Allegiance she sold my soul to Satan in the dark.
Selling millions, quadrillions just to buy two tickets onto Noah’s arc.
So you ought not fall for that girl cause I can tell you that she’s gonna fake her part.
I’m through loving that girl I tell ya she ain’t what she seem.
Her mind is ruled by aliens I seen it in a dream.
Her father, a slavemaster – not even Liberty is free.
Go ahead, you can have ‘er if you like SHELL FISH NETS IN GREEN.
Now… she wants you to turn in your gun, there’s far too many being blown apart. Hm-m…
But if I were you I’d keep it to be sure the judge and jury know -
A poor boy homeless soul (Hey you studying rock’n’roll ?) oughta have your version heard in court of the blackish kings and never think that they won’t one day soon…
We find ‘em dead on the streets. We find ‘em dead in bits and pieces in the park.
And when the sun comes up I fell all kooky about the wool over my stars.
And when the Son comes over to me baby it’s all worth it after all.
I hear the secrets of the Secret Service whispered in my ear and that ain’t all.
So you ought not fall for that girl cause I can tell ya that she’s gonna fake her part.
No, you ought not fall for that girl cause I can tell ya that she’s gonna break your heart, break it apart.
Ron’s dead, Ron’s gone, more, more more.
Ron’s dead, Ron’s gone, joy, joy, joy.
