FAWM: "Captain Un-America"

Captain Un-America

Liner Notes

Don't believe in heroes.

Lyrics

What if Batman started robbin’? What if Iceman lost his cool? What if Hulk took what he liked? What are we meant to do?

Well across the Atlantic Superhero’s gone rogue They used to fight for freedom But not fighting no more

[Chorus] Captain Un-America, Captain Un-America Captain Un-America, Captain Un-America No truth, no justice, the new American way Good guys finish last, so it’s America first today

The Captain’s had an epiphany Hey, what’s in it for me? This moral code has locked me in And I’m gonna break free

I’ll bully, and I’ll threaten You’ll feel my rage I’ll pillage and I’ll plunder On a global scale

[Chorus]

O say can you see, the dawn of the right Proudly amoral, in freedom’s twilight The star-spangled banner, laid on the grave Of the land of the free, and home of the brave

Brilliant ideas! Protest, punk & superheroes. I especially like the timbre of your voice in this rocker

Oh my word! "Good guys finish last, so it's America first today" This is genius! I love the genre, and this subject was made for a punk treatment! I was going to try to avoid the political songs this year,, but I'm glad I found this one! I've downloaded it, and I'll be revisiting it often!

Thank you. Music keeps me sane too. An outlet for my angst.

YAAS! I'm even wearing a Dead Kennedys't-shirt today - how appropriate! Have you and @dasbinky crossed paths? I suspect you would get along famously 😀

I have not. Time to head that way...
