lyrics

MISS BLACK AMERICA
You used to be the life and soul
Now you practice and preach self-control
Yeah, you are obsessed with privacy but there’s none
Six billion mobile phones
There’s no escape
Trust no-one

Shout it out until your blood runs cold
Shout it out until your lungs explode
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”

What happened to your urge to destroy
And your mission to bring the noise?
Two young boys wanking over atlases
Six billion empty heads
Death to the living dead

Shout it out until your blood runs cold
Shout it out until your lungs explode
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”

Shout it out,
“They won’t take us alive
“We are beyond embarrassment
“We want real lives
“And we’ll get them, yes, you’ll see”
So, shout it out
Shout a hard thing and a mean thing
Let the hatred flow free
Be an obscene thing
Be obscene

I am Miss Black America.
