Lucinda Williams
Decent Man
[Verse 1: Lawrence Rothman]
They massacre our mothers' pride
Massacre while we numb our minds
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

We crave the life before our broken home
There’s no escape, the damage done
She said
"Are there any decеnt men left? Are thеre any decent men left?"

The atheist and Jesus freaks
Sing together in rare harmony
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

They propagate our mental state
Make believe, we are what we hate
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

[Chorus 1: Lawrence Rothman]
And the New York Times said the country's gone up for sale
From the Trail of Tears through the Holy Grail
The star spangles sung in a minor scale
While them good ole boys build a wall around their biggest fail
Their biggest fail
The failing of the USA
[Verse 2: Lucinda Williams]
They violate our private lives
Monetize our collective mind
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

We fall in love just to fall out of love
To fall in love just to fall out of love
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

They laugh from space at the teenage star
Technology outlived us all
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

The antichrist's outplaying God
And God’s alive and well in a dog
She said
"Are there any decent men left? Are there any decent men left?"

[Chorus 2: Lucinda Williams & Both]
Now we're just a lifeless empty midwest mall
The aftermath of a hot head playing God
We dreamed a little dream inside a dream
While paradise bet and lost it all
That hot head bet and lost it all
[Bridge]
All that glitters is gone
All that glitters is gone
All that glitters is gone
