In the Land Songtext

von Nicole Dollanganger

Hell has a name — “satan's den”
Got the lock on the trailer, got the tape recorder in
He's gonna strap her to the bed, spread apart her legs
And pull the soul out of the body that its in
And when he's done he will give her to the earth
A starving animal will always feed
God as his witness he'll smile
As he watches her bones slide between its teeth

Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where she'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where she'll never grow old

Give it up for the milk carton angel
Soaked in vomit, tied up at the kitchen table
Choking on the chicken bones, a plate of mashed potatoes
Her momma screaming “come on, bitch, chew and swallow”
When she's done she will give her to the earth
Wrap her in bags on the side of the road
God as her witness she'll smile
As she sets her on fire and watches her go
