USA-Holes Lyrics

Year: 2006
Comments: Like Most Nofx Songs in the verses the GTR.2 plays an octave higher than GTR.1
intro:
Both Guitars:
both gtrs play 1st and 3rd time. Gtr 2. second time through listen:
both gtrs.
Verse 1:
It's like seeing a car crash from inside the car
The driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke
You see the bus on collision course
You point your arm and turn your head and wait for the impact
This is the feeling we learn to live with in North America
The morning headlines always accompanied with sweat and nausea
Every week another puzzle piece gets permanently glued into place
Verse 2:
We see the iceberg from 15 miles away
The captain orders the ship to "stay the course"
"Full speed ahead" shouts the accurst
The next thing we heard was, "rich women and children first"
The ship is listing, the captain's placing blame on the iceberg
"That berg attacked us, I am declaring war on the Arctic"
Who could ever have predicted the greatest ship could so easily sink (duh)
Solo: Really Fast Scales with lots of pull offs.
I've found it's best to improv with wah pedal and Pentatonic scale in Eminor: (no wah pedal? do some bendys)
Under solo:
Verse 3:
Lifeboats are useless without rescue
The only ships show up for salvage
When setting sail on the St. Louis
We all knew what consequences
Could be with the crew we had at the controls
There's no harborage for the USA-holes
I doubt there's a benign God to save our souls
Cuz no one else is gonna save the USA-holes
