MONSTER - SUICIDE - AMERICA


From the 1970 release "Monster"

 



Steppenwolf Cover

 
Words and music by John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Nick St. Nicholas and Larry Byrom

(Monster)
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon they went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)
America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

Wild Fact About Me I used to street race my '69 Hemi Roadrunner and chopped Honda 750.
My Philosophy We are all here together, so let's act as a team for the greater good of all.
What Gives Me Hope I see signs that the world in general is moving, slowly but surely, in a kinder and more loving direction.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Push to end the animal cruelty on factory farms and the genetic "engineering" of plants and animals. I would also work for the development of more environmentally friendly architecture and transportation.
What/who changed my life and why Everyone I have encountered has had an effect on me (and I on them). Some have caused profound positive impacts, such as Mr. Williford, my high school science teacher. Others have had profound negative effects. And many others have given much lesser influences.

How can one be spiritual without being religious (God is Spirit..)? I believe that spirituality is the true religion..
