| I 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. | |

| it 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* | |

| I 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. | |

| It's not that complicated... it's about the state os disarray in America. She messed up, but she's American, so it's ok. Sarcasm is a strong tool. "Give me something pretty I hope I'll never be I'd rather be creepy and very strange" is a classic live. I love it. 1 | |
