Lyrics





Hunter SThompson Land


Head for Vegas. mescaline haze
Getting high in so many ways
LSD, ether and coke
Cook your head just like a yoke


Looking for the American dream
Not as great as it may seem
Fact and fiction blur into one
Sin City under desert sun


Chorus

A journey savage and surreal
Splash the cash, close the deal
Become aware, expand your mind
Devastation left behind

Verse

In the end, not much achieved
If memory can be retrieved
Lessons too few to be shared
The counterculture now laid bare

Emptiness and crippling fear
Nothing left to draw you near
Utopia gone, no hope allowed
The future's bleak, a silent shroud

Chorus

A journey savage and surreal
Splash the cash, close the deal
Become aware, expand your mind
Devastation left behind

Verse

Fear and loathing, Vegas daze
Keeping journals the Gonzo way
This won't be a happy end
Even with the help of our friends
