21 Nuns

American idiots
Burn, burn for us
In a christian inferno
With too much drinkin' and sinnin'
You've had the time of your life
Now it's time to pay up
Time to face
Your last night on earth
With horseshoes and hand grenadans
We come to bring you
Into a static age
Mourning an American eulogy
21st century breakdown
Singin' a bitter song of the century
Restless heart syndrome
Corrupting the last of the American girls
Should've known better
To know your enemy
And never ever to trust a false peace-maker
When they come around
Now you'll face a very different set of saviors
Unholy
We are 21 nuns
21 nuns with 21 guns
Gone mad
Gone wild in a world
Much too dead to Christ
To remain alive

2011 Ramona Thompson
