Decent Man

[Verse 1: Lawrence Rothman] They massacre our mothers' pride Massacre while we numb our minds She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" We crave the life before our broken home There’s no escape, the damage done She said "Are there any decеnt men left? Are thеre any decent men left?" The atheist and Jesus freaks Sing together in rare harmony She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" They propagate our mental state Make believe, we are what we hate She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" [Chorus 1: Lawrence Rothman] And the New York Times said the country's gone up for sale From the Trail of Tears through the Holy Grail The star spangles sung in a minor scale While them good ole boys build a wall around their biggest fail Their biggest fail The failing of the USA [Verse 2: Lucinda Williams] They violate our private lives Monetize our collective mind She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" We fall in love just to fall out of love To fall in love just to fall out of love She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" They laugh from space at the teenage star Technology outlived us all She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" The antichrist's outplaying God And God’s alive and well in a dog She said "Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?" [Chorus 2: Lucinda Williams & Both] Now we're just a lifeless empty midwest mall The aftermath of a hot head playing God We dreamed a little dream inside a dream While paradise bet and lost it all That hot head bet and lost it all [Bridge] All that glitters is gone All that glitters is gone All that glitters is gone
