They’re tired of Uncle History in the United States

They’re tired of Uncle History in the United States
Henry Ford’s ghost drops leaflets
No one gets out alive
The coal miners can’t wait
To be fucked some more
Good old Uncle pares his nails
He knows
After the smoke and neglect
They’ll come back for him
But he wonders who he can call
In the meantime
And what is the meantime
To history
And what are the songs one sings
At Anna Karenina’s wake
They’ve forgotten
About love and despair
