[Verse 1]
In the howlin' wind comes a stingin' rain
See it drivin' nails into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear runnin' scared in the valley below

[Chorus]
Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo
Woo, hoo, ooh-ooh, hoo
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
Uh, uh

[Verse 2]
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
We see them burnin' crosses, see the flames, higher and higher

[Chorus]
Whoo, whooo
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue, oh
Bullet the blue, oh
Uhh, uhh, uhh
[Bridge]
So this guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peelin' off those dollar bills
Slappin' 'em down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
And take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls, you can hear the city groan
Outside, it's America
Outside, it's America
America

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
Howling the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America
