They'd put a price on dignity if they could fathom it
Sold myself short but I made a profit
God knows how black my sins are
Never saw the devil with anyone but myself
I want to leave a good looking corpse
And I don't want to be here any more
They got me bleeding out and loving every minute of it
I know my name and I'll take it to the grave
because we're all terminal whether we realize it or not
It's just a matter of the time on your clock
They got you selling your reasons to live
Just to pretend that you're not gonna die
This is The Great American
The Great American Goodbye
So make sure you wave when you give
The Great American Goodbye
Cause we're all just whores
waiting for that money shot
Bodies
Waiting for that hammer to Drop
