Jack Off Jill – American Made

Give me some antiseptic
To wash this headache away
Give me a syringe
To inject the pain
Give me something pretty I hope I'll never be
I'd rather be creepy and very strange
Give me a cake that I can mix and bake
In a Betty Crocker oven that I will break

Bake it up and we will
Stab Stab Stab
Come on, don't be afraid
We will make you
Stab Stab Stab
My world is evil but American made

Give me something easy that I can complicate
Something healthy that I can infect
Give me a mate in a crippled state
With Halloween teeth that I can break

Bake it up and we will
Stab Stab Stab
Come on, don't be afraid
We will make you
Stab Stab Stab
My world is evil but American made

Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag
Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag
Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag
Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
Burn the flag with a fag

Bake it up and we will
Stab Stab Stab
Come on, don't be afraid
We will make you
Stab Stab Stab
My world is evil but American made
American made
American grave
in an American grave

    General Commentit depends what version it is. the version that's on "sexless demons and scars" it says "stab stab stab". thats the version with the "momma's apple pie.." line. there's another remixed version that has "tear them down" instead of "stab stab stab" and it doesnt have the apple pie line. *nod*

    General CommentI think this song is a bit cheeky and is poking fun at Americana. I think in all its cheekyness, it's touching some very deep and real issues.

    "Give me a syringe
    To inject the pain "- I think this is quite simply pointing out how, no matter how 'wealthy' America seems to others...we have a serious drug epidemic overall.

    "Give me a cake that I can mix and bake
    In a Betty Crocker oven that I will break"- i think this touches on women in America...and how since women's rights came...the BETTY CROCKER'S of the nation have become somewhat obsolete (good thing).

    "Give me a mate in a crippled state
    With Halloween teeth that I can break "- I think this touches on greed in America...you know, the young women who marry rich old men and kill em off for their money...yeah...(ANNA NICOLE).

    "Momma's apple pie got a cockroach in it
    Burn the flag with a fag "- This seems almost to be about how accepting the American military is of homosexuality, whichis NOT AT ALL.

    "My world is evil but American made "- self explainiory.

    General CommentI don't find this song mocks America. I think instead, it is being very critical of the problems America has. Maybe it also points out how mainstream America can tend to leave outcasts and people with a very twisted view of the world.

    Seeing as the band appears to be far from mainstream culture, this song points out how the author's own world was twisted by 'America.

    Just some thoughts.

    General CommentI also feel the song is poking at the American way of life. Maybe Jessicka feels that the U.S.A is evil, hence the "my world is evil, but american made", it could have to do with all the negative imagery that the states portray, what with war and what not..just a thought.
