Larry Norman - "The Great American Novel"

Lyrics to The Great American Novel :

I was born and raised an orphan

in a land that once was free

in a land that poured its love out on the moon

and I grew up in the shadows

of your silos filled with grain

but you never helped to fill my empty spoon



and when I was ten you murdered law

with courtroom politics

and you learned to make a lie sound just like truth

but I know you better now

and I dont fall for all your tricks

and youve lost the one advantage of my youth



you kill a black man at midnight

just for talking to your daughter

then you make his wife your mistress

and you leave her without water

and the sheet you wear upon your face

is the sheet your children sleep on

at every meal you say a prayer

you dont believe but still you keep on



and your money says in God we trust

but its against the law to pray in school

you say we beat the Russians to the moon

and I say you starved your children to do it



you are far across the ocean

but the war is not your own

and while youre winning theirs

youre gonna lose the one at home

do you really think the only way

to bring about the peace

is to sacrifice your children

and kill all your enemies



the politicians all make speeches

while the news men all take note

and they exaggerate the issues

as they shove them down our throats

is it really up to them

whether this country sinks or floats

well I wonder who would lead us

if none of us would vote



well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped

from whispering through the fence

you know every move I make

or is that just coincidence

well you try to make my way of life

a little less like jail

if I promise to make tapes and slides

and send them through the mail



and your money says in God we trust

but its against the law to pray in school

you say we beat the Russians to the moon

and I say you starved your children to do it

you say all men are equal all men are brothers

then why are the rich more equal than others

dont ask me for the answer Ive only got one

that a man leaves his darkness when he follows the Son
