Body of a monkey and the feet of the cock
Dragged from her home on the killing rock
The lacked all died on the weather vane
The devil's in a cat in the babies brain

The end
Of the American
Of the American
Of the American
Of the American
Witch

Yeah
Alone on the hill and ready to die
The kids of the darkness so black and high
Mark of the wolf and the sun and the cat
The Angels beat down above the rack

We all pray for
20 innocents
We all bow down
20 innocents
We all hang high
20 innocents
We all accuse
20 innocents

The end
Of the American
Of the American
Of the American
Of the American
Witch

Do you want to know where the genes come from
Some showed faith and some showed none
Some showed faith and some showed none

We all pray for
20 innocents
We all bow down
20 innocents
We all hang high
20 innocents
We all accuse
20 innocents

The end
Of the American
Of the American
Of the American
Of the American

Do you want to know where the genes come from
Some showed their faith and some showed none
Do you want to know where the genes come from

The end
Of the american
Witch

    i'd say this song is about the salem witch trials. but i also agree with kabel_tv, it could also be about praying for/accusing the innocent.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
