 In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
 See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
 See the face of fear running scared in the valley below

 In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
 Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
 Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
 See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher

 So this guy comes up to me
 His face red
 Like a rose on a thorn blush
 Like all the colours of a royal flush
 And he's peeling off those dollar bills,
 sleppend them down
 And he's peeling off those dollar bills,
 sleppend them down

 And I can see the fighter planes
 And I can see the fighter planes
 Through the alleys of a quiet city street
 Across the mud huts as the children sleep
 We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
 Up the staircase to the first floor
 A man breathes deep into saxophone
 Through the walls we hear the city groan
 
 Outside is America
 Outside is America
