God, Country, Grave - Mutts

Here tongue told of scrambled eggs — cigarettes

Not her notebook full of I just heaven’t yet’s

She greats me in the morning with Listerine kisses

Her game genie daddy grants her endless wishes

Jesus took a shower down venice beach

Washin' off the salt from the waves

Her daddy’s in the church underneath a flag

You know what they say, God, country, grave

Skyscrapers cover up the harvest moon

Feeling like a seed cast on stone

A night so coldm it was itchin it was itchin

It ain’t just the roots that won’t leave her alone

No, it’s not the girl and it’s not the war

It ain’t the general or his orders

It’s not the getting lost, or the cost, or the fate

It’s the thought you hate

Would take it all back but it’s no good

I would take it all back — if I could
