It's amazing how far we've fallen in such a short, short time The greatest nation under God is now leading from behind There has been a great degradation since our morals have declined The last bastion of religious freedoms being forced to get in line As we prepare to forgo our freedoms We have only ourselves to blame We have failed to keep our country sacred And now it's going up in flames Going up in flames! Where can you flee? When the ripest apple falls from the tree When the devil cries aloud for thee! Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea And forever and ever until all is consumed When the ripest apple falls from the tree Generations of Americans are now lost to this crazy time So fastidious and narcissistic without reason without rhyme All the drug use and alcohol they use on their wounded minds Desensitized to violence and all the fear that fills their lives As we prepare to forgo our freedoms We have only ourselves to blame We have failed to keep our country sacred And now it's going up in flames Going up in flames! Where can you flee? When the ripest apple falls from the tree When the devil cries aloud for thee! Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea And forever and ever until all is consumed When the ripest apple falls Marriage in the traditional sense has become a dirty word Along with anything good or christian is now mocked as 'the absurd' Confused children are now deciding which gender they will be And then they put a bullet in their head before they can be set free As we prepare to forgo our freedoms We have only ourselves to blame We have failed to keep our country sacred And now it's going up in flames Going up in flames! Where can you flee? When the ripest apple falls from the tree When the devil cries aloud for thee! Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea And forever and ever until all is consumed When the ripest apple falls from the tree Everyone is now dying of their own spiritual iatrogenesis They think they will get into heaven on their own righteousness The new age and eastern religions they find couldn't save their skin Without the atonement of Jesus Christ they will die in their own sin As we prepare to forgo our freedoms We have only ourselves to blame We have failed to keep our country sacred And now it's going up in flames Going up in flames! Where can you flee? When the ripest apple falls from the tree When the devil cries aloud for thee! Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea And forever and ever until all is consumed When the ripest apple falls from the tree
