about

A brand new, 3-song EP from Open Kimono is available now for streaming RIGHT HERE! Three new songs written and recorded by Pierre de Gaillande in quarantine, wading deeply into the frenzied political waters of this crazy, beautiful country known only by its (not very accurate) description: The United States of America.

lyrics

My flag’s bigger than your flag’s bigger than
my sign’s bigger than all the signs on your lawn
My gun’s bigger than your hair trigger than
my gun’s bigger than all your tanks and your bombs
My conspiracy fake news rabbit hole
paranoid dark web is better than any drug
My truck’s bigger than your truck’s bigger
than my ATV will crush you like a bug

Let’s go pump the last drop of oil
and melt all the glaciers with the polar bears
Let’s drive a tank through the Amazon
and pave all the forests into parking lots
Let’s take a dump on the constitution
and toss it on the statue of honest Abe
You’re telling me that there’s a possible solution
but I’m not interested if I have to cooperate
Allow me to elaborate

My flag’s bigger than your flag’s bigger than your sign’s bigger
than all the signs on your lawn
My fear’s bigger than your fears
Bigger than my hair trigger than
all your peace and your love
My red’s redder than your truth bluer than your white’s
Whiter than any red, white and blue
My one and one equals three
Two and two equals five
Don’t believe it?
I’ll crush the truth like a slug

My flag’s bigger than your flag.
Do some donuts break some laws
and hug me like a firefighter
My flag’s bigger than any flag
Stick your nozzle in my tank
and pump it till it overflows
My flag’s bigger than any other flag
Light it up and shoot it down
just set it all on fire.
My flags bigger than all the other flags
Animals are target practice
Give me freedom, hippie, give it up
