    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is the real thing folks, the beautifully packaged compact disc (CD) version of the 'Frailty of Humans'. An essential addition to any music lovers collection. Described by Lucas Jackson (Acacia Radio) as ... "a kind of old school music with zeitgeist lyrics and stories of years gone by. It's intoxicating, yet sobering in its content, political, cynical yet wonderful."

lyrics

The folks on Coney Island walk with a shuffling gait
They don't realise they're already too late
They're limping to the queue for corndogs and cotton candy
This is the United States

Singing, bye, bye Americae, singing bye, bye Americae
Oh the President is lying and Disney land is dying
Singing bye bye Americae.

He wants the Mexicans to build his precious wall
He don't care for humanity at all
He calls them drug runners, latino gang members
Demonise them shoot them by the wall

Come on Annie get your gun, we're going to have some fun
At the school, the Church, we'll cruise the interstate
Let's buy another Smith & Wesson, let's teach them all a lesson
Let them pray before they reach heavens gate

Singing, bye bye Americae, singing bye bye Americae
Oh the President is lying and Disneyland is dying
Singing bye, bye, Americae
Singing bye, bye, bye
Singing bye, bye, bye Americae

Well I can't help but see the colourful irony
Of redneck white supremacy
Torch bearing marchers dreaming of a master race
Led by a president with an orange face

The President's idea of fun is baiting Kim Jong Un
Embassies in Jerusalem
The apocalypse is coming and the President is humming
Long live the United States

Singing, bye bye Americae, singing bye bye Americae
Oh the President is lying and Disneyland is dying
Singing bye, bye Americae
Singing, bye, bye, bye
Singing bye, bye, bye Americae
