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
