On the big wingspan of your best-laid plan
A world that ain't worth knowing in the palm of our hands
Tried putting the blame on misunderstanding
Village in flames, earthquake, crash landings
She's a laugh a minute from a joke so cruel
A weighted blanket in the swimming pool
Okey-dokey for a broken fool
A new hand sign for your twisted ways
It's the new OK
Deep in my own head drenched from the cups
I thought going downtown might cheer me up
We promised each other we wouldn't let it get too rough
Said, "Let me know son when you've had enough"
Said, "Let me know when you've had your fill"
Force of nature and the force of will
Break your spirit when it gets revealed
That you've settled for an injury instead of a kill
Blood on your hands that point with skill
How we lost our way
It's the new OK
And I wonder if the life we lived
Will be around when the weight is lifted
Off the ground when the plates have shifted
And it's all burned to the ground
Will we rise up from where we're planted
With our fists up to the sun?
Or will we settle for tear-gassed eyes
Staring down the gun?
It's summer in Portland, everything's fine
Black Lives Matter holding up the line
We got mommies and vets taking fire
From the cops on the beat and the occupiers
It's 11:29 and the shit comes down
Shooting volleys from behind the fence
Smashing medics and the once-free press
It gets bloody and it gets messy
Goons with guns coming out to play
It's a battle for the very soul
Of the USA
It's the new OK
It's the new OK
It's the new OK
Drive-By Truckers are an American band of alternative country music based in Athens, Georgia. Although three members out of six (Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood and Shonna Tucker) are originally from the Shoals region of Northern Alabama, the band has deep roots in the Southern US music scene. Their sound is characterized by a "three axe attack", meaning three guitars alongside bass and drums. Like many other alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch tape). Unlike most of their contemporaries, however, they have consistently pushed their labels to also release their records on vinyl. Some of their most representative songs include "Decoration Day", "The Boys From Alabama" and "Carl Perkins' Cash".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
