"Continous"
"Yeah, youknowhatI'msayin?"
"Wu-Tang"
"Aiyyo aiyyo, come on yo yo yo I'ma shoot over here"
"On that AIDS thing"
"YouknowhatI'msayin? I'm gonna just slide in the studio quick"
"Yo, yo"
"And get this done"
When you're sexually frustrated, plus waiting for a long time
You both had strong minds
Combined with feelings, she seems appealing
for each other, discreet lover, no longer keeps brothers
Smothered under deep covers
Erotic programs, Moet and slow jams
Enough to make you hold hands
And plus you a bold man
You fall in a manhole, where the forbidden tree grow
And bullshit ego, of fly negro
Whole garden sour, polluted with a dead flower
Months later, he's layin on a respirator
Depending on a generator, to keep his heart moving
And start losing sight in his right eye
In weeks he might die
Yeah, uh-huh
I know this dope-fiend cat, word up, his name is Javier
Part-time shooter sharing needles in the stairs
Wise guys disguised as a fly guy
you gettin high right? Weeded up with red shit in your right eye
Youse a menace, your brain cells finished
Begging forgiveness, calling that up top shit syphillis
You know what you was gettin into
Try to guess on what I've been through
Fuck shorty raw then she scared you
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from the Wu, it's real
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from my crew, it's real
My nigga Chuck, he loved to fuck
Everything exotic bitches down to ugly ducks
Like Nancy, who liked the fancy tickles
so he put popsicles on her nipples to make her sex passion
triple quadriple, until she bust
Overcome with passion, big ass want lust upon him
But nigga he forsake to grab the condom
Fuck it, he said AIDS, was government made
to keep niggaz afraid so they won't get laid no babies be made
And the black population will decrease within a decade
German warfare product against the dark shade
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from my crew, it's real
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from the Wu, it's real
Caught by the gravitation earth rotation
Six in the sex is deep, when you can't see clear
through the sheer brassiere, toke back
Smoking a spliff, sippin cognac, God
you know my two love songs, Bobby Womack tracks
Got her fat ass layin flat on her back
Yo, as she lay, she wore a silk gray neglige
Alehze pours, the radio play, Marvin Gaye
What's Going On? As she screams Sexual Healing
Couldn't fight the feeling her legs hit the ceiling
Hittin all positions dipped in for quick love
She's professional she does this shit in strip clubs
Flied in June until she Acquired Immune Deficiency
Now misery is the Syndrome
Oh shit, God that's wild
Damn, that's some cherry flavor shit going on though kid
For real, knowhatI'msayin?
What about the exotic type
Caskets is waitin for brothers
Word up slide on the joints baby
Before you go to sex take protection
Word up
AIDS kills, word up respect this
America Is Dying Slowly (4x)
Yeah, word yo, sliding up in this store right here
I ain't even playing that man, for real
Dig it
Respect how I'm living kid
Here forever, word up
Lubricated joints, ribbed joints is bangin
But they still playing the hotel door man
Word, you know how that be though, you know how that be
Yo, just gettin to be too old
Chick over there lookin like Sonny and Cher
Over there
Yeah
America Is Dying Slowly
Surely
America Is Dying Slowly
America Is Dying Slowly

America Is Dying Slowly
Wu-Tang, Syndrome, be the resident
Noodles, Bobby Steels, Lou Diamonds, Killer Priest
Rolly Rollie Fingers, Johnathan Blaze, Maximillion
Prodigal Sons, Anthony Starks, Hellrazor
Prodigal Son, and in the place, Sixty Second
Sunz of Man, Gambinos, forever...
Keep it safe!
Ol Dirt Schultz, word up baby
Protect yourself!
America the beautiful land of the free home of the brave.
I'm so proud of what we've done and for all those lives we gave,
they weren't thrown away.
So don't, dont you forget those lives that we gave away.
[Warcloud:]
The maid was in the garden, hangin' out the clothes
While I crept up and shot her dead in the nose
Message in a bottle, violent as our records spin
One stranded couple terrorized by backwoods men
A young man home from reform school, now a burglar
Since sixth graders suspect their principal is a murderer
A man investigates the death of his twin brother
Three kids search for their missin' parents and cover
A nightclub owner, schemes against mobsters
Four congressmen turn out to be impostors
Five teens try to track down the jewel thief
One little boy, knocked out another's teeth
Successful script writer becomes a heroin addict
A surgeon and his ex-wife slaughtered by a mechanic
A barroom boss and they lost, threw it to the hospital
A little girl found a fly inside a popsicle
Two bored Indians become bank robbers
A cop searchin' for the killers of his father
A rapper's lifestyle of sex, drugs and booze
A highway man, swindles a drunker's booth
A homeless in a dumpster, and finds a new pair of shoes
An injured jazz musician, dead on the news
A housewife entangled in lies and domestic abuse
A dirty politician tries to rub out his opponents
The outside man fought another man in the rain
A business woman had to smooth for the correct spelling of her name
A skinhead who lead a fierce biker gang
Involved in white slavery and Mr. Avery was never neighborly, romancin', a jackpot
He killed his wife and drove to Vegas wit her head in a hat box
[Chorus x4: Warcloud]
One candy apple, two white chocolates, three blueberries
[Warcloud:]
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She would have music wherever she goes
Seven ladybugs on a honeydew, for crummy you
Mystic rhymes straight from candy house wit a gummy roof
I got a Tommy gun that shoots eggs, and I'll put it down
Pop you on the shoulder wit a large revolver and laugh
Warcloud's warpath is a conquer that ever last
Like tea cakes and crumpets, shiny, right turk gold trumpets
Gold's in the compass, pilotin' and airship
One sea of clouds, they drop an axe on you now
Shadow on the barn wall, float a newspaper boat
Juice bars and fudge sticks, roller coasters and ferris wheels
[Chorus x4]
[Warcloud:]
There was a young lady, my wife, who disrespect
And the first day I met her she had a ribbon around her neck
And she wore that ribbon for years and hear the flutes
When I asked her to remove it, she'd always have excuse
One stormy night, while we were in bed
I snatched the ribbon off and off rolled her head
I laughed my self to sleep, the room spun around like a record
You brought us the a-bomb in so many ways
Endorsed by God and The Book
So God loves a war monger?
Hey Mr. Blix: forget Iraq and the time it took
'Cause I know just where to look
"Could we have a vote please?"
They came with a song - America
They wouldn't stay long - America
We are America
God bless America
God bless America and Capitol Hill
'Cause no one else will
So now you are scared
The Arabs will kill for their god
Like you do for yours?
Protect your obesity with your life man
Hey - Angry God or Diet Coke?
Who cares it's all a joke
"Heil homo pecuniae"
Saving us yet another time
Earning a buck on every dime
Sick of America
Sick of America
Sick of America and Capitol Hill
Moving in for the next kill
Did you say "I love you"?
A simpler democracy
Where every flaw and failure is called a "Right"
A new form of freedom
Based on your income, your color, creed
And your choice of gun
But it provides great fun
"Dr. Phil or Oprah?"
"Letterman or Leno?"
"Idol or Big Brother?"
(we'll be back after this short break)
It could have been good America
It could have been great America
Land of the brave and free
Welcoming you and me
But this Brave New World is not as new anymore
Each day a new store
Each year a new war
While chosen whites rule the poor
...in America
Oh, America
Don't you walk out on me?
Just wait a second now
Please hear me now
Oh... I'll do my best to love you
Oh yes I will
I know you're out there
C'mon
Raise your voices
Don't let them ruin your reputation
Don't let them wreck your constitution
Not out of fear
Not out of greed
But you had a good run America
Your day in the sun America
Hello British Empire
Hello Roman Empire
Hello Soviet
There is a new kid in town
Joining the gone down
Finding what you found
Treading your worn - worn down ground
Rise to your former glory
Be brave and warm
Oh America
If I say I love you
If I say I love you
If I say I love you
This little England, it's dingy and it's mean
I've flirted with her mewling gods and petty jelousies
These edited-reader rebels with their simulated causes
Their weak-chinned snarls and red guitars I disregard them all
When they pin me to the wall I'll say:
I'm with America
With godless America, I'll stand and I'll fall
Though it cuts me to my soul that
It must be America
It must be America
Or nothing at all.
The Popstars who write operas and make fatuous remarks
The theory-quoting upstarts who snort fair-trade coke in parks
I find myself a loner and I find myself bereft
I find myself agreeing with Bill O'Reilly more than the left.
When they pin me to the wall I'll say:
I'm with America
With godless America, I'll stand and I'll fall
Though it cuts me to my soul that
It must be America
It must be America
Or nothing at all.
Esto es América , Latinoamérica
bajo tus pies la tierra...
Despeño las almas, y
de las entrañas
nació la voz que clama
por toda la sangre y el sudor
que vimos derramar
por la libertad
que es condicional
Que es lo que van a hacer
A que van a llegar
La paciencia no es eterna
Con el pueblo no se juega
Queremos ser libres,
como animales
Tomemos todo
lo que prometieron
y que jamás cumplieron
La miseria oprime y la ambición
corrompe mas y mas
Devuélvenos ya
nuestra dignidad
Que es lo que va a hacer
A que van a llegar
La paciencia no es eterna
Con el pueblo no se juega
Id el ruido de rotas cadenas
Las palabras y los discursos
nada pudieron cambiar
el tiempo perdido
ya no volverán
Cercherò mi sono sempre detta cercherò
troverai mi hanno sempre detto troverai
per oggi sto con me mi basto
nessuno mi vede
e allora accarezzo la mia solitudine
ed ognuno ha il suo corpo a cui sa cosa chiedere
chiedere chiedere chiedere
Fammi sognare lei si morde la bocca e si sente l'America
Fammi volare lui allunga la mano e si tocca l'America
Fammi l'amore forte sempre più forte come fosse l'America
Fammi l'amore forte sempre più forte ed io sono l'America
cercherai mi hanno sempre detto cercherai
e troverò ora che ti accarezzo troverò
ma quanta fantasia ci vuole per sentirsi in due
quando ognuno è da sempre nella sua solitudine
e regala il suo corpo ma non sa cosa chiedere chiedere chiedere chiedere
Fammi volare lei le mai sui fianchi come fosse l'America
Fammi sognare lui che scende e che sale e si sente l'America
Fammi l'Amore lei che pensa ad un altro e si inventa l'America
Fammi l'amore forte sempre più forte ed io sono l'America
Between the years of 1861-1865,
over 620,000 Americans died from gunshot,
disease or sickness
in the bloodiest battles of our nations history -
the Civil War.
Through the instrument of prejudice,
fear and hate,
a different battle rages on to this day.
But in Christ, we are all one people -
united in our commitment to God and each other -
because it is He who First loved us...
'Posed to be...
Land of the free
I don't see how
Count me in
America

And stop tappin' my phone
And searchin' my brone
And keep your personal feelings home
When you bandin' my chrome
Do it for the
Weak and the strong
And to each his own
We do it for the main goal
So when all the heat is gone
This game wasn't told to me (Told to me)
It was sold to me (Sold to me)
And we are never free (No!)
No way
Not in America (Not America)

Our country 'tis of thee ('tis of thee)
Land of Liberty (Liberty)
But that'll never be (Never Be - NO!)

Do you still live on Semaphore Street?
The children we were have grown into us
You in a car and me in a bus
How do you know you'll recognize me?
I'm not too clear, but I'm easy to see
Moving alone through the fossilized crowd
People in motion who feel so loud, yeah
I gave America your name and she taped it on the sea
I gave America your kiss and she blew it over me
What ya see
How do you know when you've gone too far?
Look in the mirror, that's where you are
People go by on their legs and their hands
Bury their heads in the evening sands
I gave America my blood and she drank it gratefully
I told America her weight and she said you'd wait for me
All of me
Someone like you impresses my head
Maybe it's true I'm not totally dead
This is goodbye, yeah, I've said it before
This time you're not gonna see me no more, well
I gave America her head and she fired it at me
I gave America her mouth and she turned it on to me
I gave America her heart and it's beating over me
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it
America. Hey, I'm ashamed
America. Hey, I'm ashamed of it

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together."
"I've got some real estate here in my bag."
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America.
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America."
Laughing on the bus;
Playing games with the faces;
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy;
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera."
"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat."
"We smoked the last one an hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field.
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike:
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

New York City late at night
On the Seventh Avenue
I walk around and think about
The good and the bad you do
The strongest man here will survive
And the weakest he may fall
But even though I think you are
The greatest of them all
'Cause I believe in America
Dreams come true in America
Sing it with the band
We believe in America
Dreams come true in America
Sing it with the band
You walk around in Central Park
On a brandnew summerday
But don't you be there late at night
'Cause they take your things away
Where you can see the moviestars
And actors in a play
It's all about to happen there
On a normal American day
'Cause I believe in America
Dreams come true in America
Sing it with the band
We believe in America
Dreams come true in America
Sing it with the band
You walk around in Central Park
On a brandnew summerday
But don't you be there late at night
'Cause they take your things away
Where you can see the moviestars
And actors in a play
It's all about to happen there
On a normal American day
'Cause I believe in America
Dreams come true in America
Sing it with the band
We believe in America
Dreams come true in America

Die Story ist jene,
Das weiß doch Jedermann
Das liegt doch auf der Hand
Es war mit Bock und Roll Musik
Nicht immer leicht in diesem Land
Was in mir sitzt ist weiß gespritzt
(Weinschorle, Gespritzter)
Das ist mir völlig klar,
Obgleich ich Whiskey zech
Seitdem in USA ich war
Dort hört man ¡°Falco You Are Wonderful¡±
Ich hab es langsam satt
Wenn ihr meine records
Trotzdem kaufen w¨¹det,
W¨¹rde es mich nicht stören
Das typische an mir
Ich bin untypisch ganz und gar
Einmal hoch und einmal tief
Einmal ausgeflippt, dann wieder straight
Ihr werdet mich nehmen m¨¹ssen wie ich bin
Ich sag es lieber gleich
Zeigt mir den nächsten schlanken Fuß
Und ich bin voll dabei
America wenn ihr mir glauben
Wie man euch vermissen kann
Im ¡°Spiegel¡± stand es: Wien ist ¡°in¡±
Und wenn der es nicht weiß wer dann?
Auch wenn Mr. Smith ¡®ne Glatze hat
Wir verkaufen ihm ¡®nen Kamm
Der Herr war dick
Das Girl war slick
So denn er lallend fragt
¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
I¡¯ nehm¡¯ zweitausend ¡°Öschis¡±
Keusch das Madel sagt
Ihr werdet und nehmen m¨¹ssen wie wir sind
Wir sagen es lieber gleich
Zeigt uns den nächsten Präsidenten
Und wir sind voll dabei
Oder auch nicht
Dialog zwischen einen Touristen und einem W¨¹rstchenhändler:
Tourist: ¡°I would like to have that wonderful Wiener Schnitzel¡±
W¨¹rstchenhändler: (Sich an seine Frau wendend) ¡°Gib ihm doch mal 100 g Wurst in Brötchen¡±
Tourist: (schmatzend zu beiden) ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s really great¡±
W¨¹rstchenhändler:(sich seiner Sache sicher) ¡°Aber das ist doch klar, Der Herr, das macht hundert. Nein nicht Dollars sondern Schilling(Öschis). Wir wollen es ja nicht ¨¹bertreiben.¡±

My daddy told me about the old glory days
But I made up my mind about daddy's ways
We followed king to Atlanta and got the slaves all free
And the ladies come out from behind the fans of gentry
America, America
How you've broken free
America, America
Was your destiny
I was at daddy's bedside the night that he went
He whispered real sad, "The south won't rise again"
They've all gone to Chicago to lose the slow accent
Leaving me behind wondering where we went
America, America
Are you losing your mind?
America, America
We came like babies
From our home across the sea to see America
An' the people opened up their arms
To welcome us to America
We came like children
From a far and distant land to see America
And the golden sun of freedom
Filtered down to us in America
And the people stood and stared
Loved us more than we had dared to, in America
Super highways here and there
Pretty womens everywhere
Brady Bunch an' Smokey Bear
Buildings reachin' to the sky
Afro-sheen and apple pie
PTA an' FBI
Jumbo jet begins to rise
A joyful nation waves its bye-byes
Each religion, race and creed
Gets exactly what they need
God bless Johnny Appleseed
I can survive the rat race honey
Time is money and money is honey, honey
My megabucks your symmetrical beauty
Together we can serve the nation - yeah!
The quality of life filled us all with pride
America
And as I watched I just cried and cried
How I love America
I will buy you rich perfumes
And we will eat the finest foods
A mansion in New England
A silver dollar for every child
Where everybody has got their price
They'll sustain our way of life
You and I will fly to Rio
I'll make you feel like a millionaire
I can survive the rat race honey
Time is money and money is honey, honey
My megabucks your symmetrical beauty
Together we can serve the nation - yeah!
The quality of life filled us all with pride
America
And as I watched I just cried and cried
How I love America
West is best and might is right
And with our allies - fight the good fight
A first class, five star enterprise
Now everybody's got to compromise
My moral code's on overload
Liberty still takes its toll
Take a look at the losers wasting in the bars
Where they cut their losses!
I can survive the rat race honey
Time is money, and money is honey, honey
My megabucks your symmetrical beauty
Together we can serve the nation - yeah!
The quality of life filled us all with pride
America
And as I watched I just cried and cried
How I love America
There were fireworks in the Gulf
There was champagne at home - How I love America
But showbiz and Hollywood still shouted out - America
America you're too young to die.
England you're too old to cry.
He's got the whole world in his hand.
India, you're too hurt to try.
India, you shake beneath the blackened sky.
We've got the whole world in our hands.
Everybody come on,
It's time to sing a new song.
Everybody come on,
It's time to say we belong.
Africa, you're too young to die.
I look at you and hear the angels cry.
The hour glass is running out of sand.
Where can a man go, if he's fallen to his his knees?
How can a mother free her children from disease?
Where can a river run if it cannot clean itself?
Where can a man go from the curses of his wealth?
America
Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
From West L.A. to New York City
cleaning dishes in the wallstreet hype
miss liberty and golden gate so pretty
and Uncle Sam is cleaning stars and stripes
We're all stickin' together
in the fields where we don't belong
but we gonna win now or never so proud
fightin' the streets for a trashcan-dinner
America, the promised land
forever free and never dying
America, a dream comes true
a helping hand needs no denying
From New Orleans to "old" Milwaukee
streets still not clean from colored men
the heartland of your heart is where your heart is
can you afford to pay for not to die?
We all have to face it forever
we all have to dance with wolves
can't you dig it, white nigger?
Let us be lovers
We'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate
Here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
And Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off
To look for America
Kathy,
I said
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me nowIt took me four daysTo hitchhike from SaginawI've come to look for America.
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit
Was a spy
I said
Be careful,His bow tie is really a camera.
Toss me a cigaretteI think there's one in my raincoat.
We smoked the last oneAn hour ago.
So I looked at the scenery
She read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Kathy, I'm lost,
I said
Though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching andI don't know why.
Counting the cars
On the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come
To look for America
AII come to look for America
By Dave Fenton
Why don't you get out of here
I never needed you anyway
Why don't you just disappear
I'm tired of driving down your logical motorway
You can stay if you don't ask no questions
You can stay if you don't tell no lies
You can stay if you don't read my feature
You can stay if you don't read my mind
Wanna do something new
I Wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
Baby, baby, baby
For the moment I'm alive
Everybody trying to steal my insanity
God knows how I can survive
Just hiding out in this occupied territory
You can stay if you don't ask no questions
You can stay if you don't tell no lies
You can stay if you don't read my feature
You can stay if you don't read my mind
Wanna do something new
I Wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
This is America
POD and Santana live in La Casa
Live and direct for you and yours
Yo America, America
Was it the way that she looked at me
She had caught my eye
She stole my heart she freed my mind
The way we loved it was magical
Truly wonderful
It was me and your so beautiful
And I know that you feel this too
Will our dreams come true
I believe in you
Show me the way to my better days
What's the price to pay
If I follow you
America, America
Will you come back to me baby please don't away don´t let me go
America, America
Can you get back to me baby don't run away I need you so
I trust in you still you walk away
You just ran away
I thought our love would never change
The way you move had me hypnotized
Now I realize
I fell again the same old lies
Plans you change the present rearranged
If we don't know the path the future we can't attain
So I maintain, dealt my hands so I deal with it
Know what is truth myself
Lucy came to the timberline
Climbed up on to Rainier and
Looked out over Washington
Swore she could see the apple trees
And she said "ooo ooo oh I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here"
Peter came to the city and
Climbed up into Liberty and
Looked out over Manhattan
He swore he could see the beauty there
And he said " ooo ooo oh I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here"
Find a place
To call home
Any place
To call home
Right here
And so I came in the dead of night
Climbed up into the satellite and
Looked out over America
I swear I could see the buffalo
Ooo ooo oh and I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Let your glory fly
Let your glory fly
Let your glory fly
If my people will humbly pray
Turn from sin and their wicked ways
And I will hear them and heal their land
And show my glory and power again, yeah
Lift your eyes up
Look to the sky
The Lord is coming
Coming to America
Can you feel the fire?
Can you see the wind?
It's blowing through
Coming to America again
Go and tell them the blind will see
The lame will walk and the slave is free
Shout the news that the lost are saved
In the name of Jesus, the dead are raised
Lift your eyes up
Look to the sky
The Lord is coming
Coming to America
Can you feel the fire?
Can you see the wind?
It's blowing through
Coming to America again
Can you see it coming?
Let your glory fly
Let your glory fly
Let your glory fly
Lift your eyes up
Look to the sky
The Lord is coming
Coming to America
Can you feel the fire?
Can you see the wind?
It's blowing through
Coming to America, yeah
Lift your eyes up
Look to the sky
The Lord is coming
Coming to America
Can you feel the fire?
Can you see the wind?
It's blowing through
It's coming to America again, yeah yeah
Can you see it coming?
Can you see it coming?
On Monday morning, oceanrain was falling
On Tuesday morning, many friends are calling
Wednesday alone, staying at home
Thursday, oh I wait for you
And Friday it's only one day
The weekend is coming soon
America - oh it's Saturday night
America - laser beams, and lights
America - people feel alright
America - let the party begin
America - oh it's like a dream
America - let's have some fun tonight
On Monday morning, my heart feels like fire
On Tuesday evening, I can feel desire
Wednesday I'm down, spinning around
Thursday love is in my eyes
On Friday, it's only one day
To my paradise
Let us be lovers
We'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
And Mrs. Wagner's Pies
And walked on, walked on, walked on
To look for America
'Kathy,' I said as we boarded a Greyhound to Pittsburg,
'Michigan seems like a dream to me now'
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the Gabardine suit was a spy
I said, 'Be carefull his bow tie is really a camera.'
Kathy I'm lost I said
Although I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and I'm aching
And I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
I'm in a car
And I'm over you
I'm a passenger
And I'm over you
I'm looking for
America
I'm looking for
You
I'm in a glasshouse
And I'm over you
I'm thin, far too thin
And I'm over you
I'm in a corner
And I'm over you
I'm old, far too old
And I'm over you

I can hear them talking
From a million miles
They talk like cowboys
And I close my eyes
And slip into a dream
I wish that I could see
(Chorus)
America, America, America
I don't like my voice
And my clothes don't fit
And my gun belt hangs
On my skinny hips
And all I want to do
Is to be like you
(Chorus)
This town's in trouble
But up there somewhere
Heroes are returning
Safely to the earth
And falling back into
Long ago - across the sea
German heart - that was me
took plane - came to see
Young at heart - twenty three
Got a chance - took it on
Wrote a song - called "Get it on"
Got a band - loud and proud
Wrote a smash - just don't know how
America - inside my heart
This song's for you - with all my love
Took a break - times have changed
Letting go - re-arrange
Strong belief - riding on
Here we are - KINGDOM COME
I don't care - where you're from
";Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together";
";I've got some real estate here in my bag";
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pie
And walked off to look for America
";Kathy,"; I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
";Michigan seems like a dream to me now";
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America
I've come to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said ";Be careful his bowtie is really a camera";
";Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat";
";We smoked the last one an hour ago";

They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come look for America
Staring out at the old man,
Watching the trains go by,
Well he lives his life on promises,
But I'm afraid the promise is all he's got,
You know life's too short to never take,
But if you stand aside it'll pass you by,
Chorus
He's from some place they call America,
But he's nothing more than a dead man walking around,
He's from some pace they call America,
Yeah America,
Ever since he was a boy,
He had dreams,
Dreams the size of God and he was,
Making plans,
Building buildings,
He was gonna have the world in his pocket,
The Brooklyn bridge in his hands,
he looks outside his window,
And see's his past,
Comin' down,
On him,
For the rest of his life he will us kicking him down,
Too old to start again my friend,
Chorus
He's from some place they call America,
But he's nothing more than a dead man walking around,
He's from some pace they call America,
Yeah America,
Takin' me down,
Takin' the old man down,
Takin' me down,
Taking many lives over, over America,
Chorus
He's from some place they call America,
But he's nothing more than a dead man walking around,
He's from some pace they call America,
Yo, it's like waking up from a bad dream (Americaaa)
just to figure out you wasn't dreaming in the first place (Nooo...)
If all I saw was gangsters
Coming up as a youngster
Pussy and money the only language I clung to
Claim to, unrolled myself up to become one
Ain't ya happy I chose rap? I'm amongst the
Streets deceiving
Can't believe my achievements
Cultural strata
Persona's that of a non-needer
Because I don't need nada except for Prada beaver
For cold winters, tattoos got my summer's sleeveless
To my G's on the flee from the coppers (coppers)
Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors (parlors)
From the slums I come up a phoenix
Caked up, tryin' to take what I'm eating
Came up a dismissive kid (kid)
You lucky if you allowed to witness this
Savvy mouth
While hardly a man's man
Who woulda knew the beach houses and wild parties
Jezebel's and Stella McCartney's?
For years, all that
How could I not be dead?
This old German
Said I was a thug with a knotty head
Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled
With a face like he wonder where I got my bread
Probably all these stones he see
From my shows overseas
From crime to rhyme
My story is I'm from the home of the thieves
America (America), pay attention
Wake up (America)
This is not what you think it is
America (America), pay attention
Wake up (America)
This is not what you think it is
Blessed
The lord is a G, he gotta be
Who's the God of suckers and snitches?
The economy
Lipstick from Marilyn Monroe
Blew a death kiss to Fidel Castro
He'd want me to spit this
Only the strong survive
Nas bear witness
The hypocrisy is all I can see
White cop acquitted for murder
Black cop cop a plea
That type of shit make me stop and think
We in chronic need of a second look of the law books
And the whole race dichotomy
Too many rappers, athletes, and actors
But not enough niggas in NASA
Who give you the latest dances, trends, and fashion?
But when it comes to residuals, they look past us
Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us
Even in white tee's, blue jeans, and red bandannas
America (America) pay attention
Wake up (America)
This is not what you think it is
America (America)
Pay attention (America)
This is not what you think it is
America (America)
(This is not what you think it is)
Assassinations
Diplomatic relations
Killed indigenous people
Built a new nation
Involuntary labor
Took a knife split a woman naval
Took her premature baby
Let her man see you rape her
If I could travel to the 1700's
I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite
Through your covenant
Love to sit in on the Senate
And tell the whole government
Y'all don't treat women fair
She read about herself in the bible
Believing she the reason sin is here
You played her, with an apron
Like, "Bring me my dinner, dear."
She the nigger here
Ain't we in the free world?
Death penalty in Texas kill young boys and girls
Barbarity, I'm in the double-R casualty
Bugging how I made it out the hood, dazzle me
How far we really from third world savagery
When the empire fall, imagine how crazy that'll be
America (America, America)
America (America)
(This is not what you think it is)
America (America ohhh)
This is not what you think it is
What a drag it is

Well I go out somewhere

What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so
gallantly streaming
America, America
America
America, America
America
And the rockets' red glare
the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave
America, America

Get into the mood for worldwide confrontation
Wise up to the words of Haig delivered through Reagan
Exposing a commie campaign for world domination
Let's have some more mass extermination
Genocide down at the Sumpul river
Children of eight can go and get raped
Why don't you get a bayonet -
mince up a peasant or two?
Remember remember America's right behind you!
At all costs we've got to stop the Reds
Who wants to hear about 1000 peasants lying dead
Remember the 50s and Mr. MacCarthy
Let's have a witch hunt and nuclear party
Reagan on TV - what a nice kind of guy
He appears on the news without collar and tie
He could press the button and he would survive
He could rule the world cos he's got God on his side
America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
Why don't you get out of here
I never needed you anyway
Why don't you just disappear
I'm tired of driving down your logical motorway
You could stay if you don't ask no questions
You could stay if you don't tell no lies
Say You don't read my feature
You could stay if you don't read my mind
Wanna do something new
I Wanna go to America
Go to America
Go to America
But I wanna stay with you
But I wanna take you too baby
Baby, baby, baby

Everybody tries to steal my time

God knows how I can survive
Just hiding out in this occupied territory
You could stay if you don't ask no questions

Well I never was a fan of the way you move.
It's a little to slick, it's a little to smooth.
Talking circles like a needle through a locked groove that's your spin.
And I never much cared for your state of affairs
how the most gotta pay 'cause the few won't share.
Open eyes and despise is the cross I bear, as witness to your sins.
America dreams and I wake up screaming.
America lies and I think you know.
America schemes making deals with demons.
America dies and I told you so.
Well I never was a fan of the way you move.
It's a little to slick it's a little to smooth.
Talking circles through a locked groove that's you trick.
And I never put trust in the greed and the lust
and the way you don't bleed when the factories bust like a knife to the throat
it cuts me to the quick
America dreams and I wake up screaming.
America lies and I think you know.
America schemes making deals with demons.
Some have said,done through history
If you last it's a mistery
But i guess they don't know,what they're talking about
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America,A-merher-ica
Well i come from,down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me,A-merher-ica
It don't matter where i may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America,A-merher-ica
Chorus:
And my brothers are all black and white,yellow too
And the red man is right,to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through,America
And the men,who fell on the planes
And lived,through hardship and pain
America,A-merher-ica
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home,A-merher-ica
Chorus.
Well i come from,down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me,A-merher-ica
It don't matter where i may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America,A-merher-ica
America,A-merher-ica
It's home sweet home,A-merher-ica
You were lost and got lucky,
came upon the shore,
found you were conquering America,
Spoke of peace,
Waged a war,
while you were conquering America.
There was land to take, and people to kill
While you were conquering America.
You saved yourself, and did God's will,
While you were conquering America.
The ghost of Columbus haunts this world,
You're still conquering America.
The meek won't survive, inherit the earth,
Cause you're still conquering America
hmmmm
Found bodies to serve, submit and degrade,
while you were conquering America.
Made of soldiers and junkies, prisoners and slaves,
while you were conquering America.
America, America, America
Your hands are at my throat,
my back's against the wall,
cause you're still conquering America.
We are Sick, and tired, hungry and poor,
cause you're still conquering America.
America, America, America,
You bomb the very ground,
you feed your own babies,
you're still conquering America
Your sons and your daughters,
May never sing your praises,
while you were conquering America.
America, America, America
Unseal your eyes,
see the distant shore,
while you were conquering America,
Take your rockets to the moon,
Try to find a new world,
And you're still conquering America.
America, America, America
The ghost of Columbus, haunts this world,
You're still conquering America,
You're still conquering America,
You're still conquering America
Welcome to America,
Where no one ever sleeps at night
Suburban life, where girls lose their appetites,
How did we get to here?
I don't know, but you are not alone,
There's so much more,
Than what you're waiting for
Hey, it's alright to let it go
It's not too late to come back home
Life it cruel and cold sometimes,
But please don't give up tonight
Your wounds can heal in time,
The scars can be left behind
How did we get to here?
In a wold full of maybes,
Where everything's changing
And everyone's going in different directions
Where everyone's crazy,
I'm just trying to break free
But the road just get's harder
Far, We've been traveling far, Without a home, But not
without a star
Free, Only want to be free. We huddle close Hang on to a
dream
On the boats and on the planes, They're coming to
America. Never looking back again, They're coming to America.
Home, don't it seem so far away Oh, we're traveling light today In the eye of the storm, In the eye of the storm
Home, to a new and a shiny place. Make our bed, and we'll say our grace, Freedom's light burning warm, Freedom's light burning warm.
Everywhere around the world They're coming to America. Every time that flag's unfurled They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there; They're coming to
America. Got a dream they've come to share, They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off to look for America
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
And it took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy, I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigaret I think there's one in the raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenary she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy I'm lost I said though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
What a drag it is
The shape i'm in
Well I go out somewhere
Then I come home again
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Happiness came and went
I got the movie script
But I don't know what it meant
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That I can believe in
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Yes I got the news
When you get it straight, but stand up you just can't lose
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life
Dont stand me up
Don't let me down oh
I need you tonight
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold..
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Distrust in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Walkin' 2 the corner of Main Street, USA
Look at the good people, hear what they gotta say-uh-huh
All right
See a sexy girl with her long black hair
See a preacher man sporting Abercrombie wear-uh-huh
All right
Walk into a corner store
A man says, "This is what I'm fighting for"
We are living in America
We're giving in America
We're tripping in America
Everywhere I go, seems like Bush is on TV
We shed blood in the name of liberty-uh-huh
All right
The circus tents are dead, but the sideshow is doing well
The Osbournes and Anna Nicole are too freaky 2 tell-uh-huh
All right
Take the bad with the good
I wanna change it, but I wouldn't leave it if I could
We are trying in America
We're spying in America
Getting high in America
We are laughing in America
We're crying in America
We're dying in America
We are trucking in America
We are f**king in America
We are lucky in America
We are breaking ground in America
Just another town in America
We are breaking down in America
Take the bad with the good
I wanna change it, but I wouldn't leave it if I could
We are trying in America
We're spying in America
We're getting high in America
We are getting tan in America
We love Spam in America
Polanski's banned from America
10 million served in America
Have u heard in America?
We're crying in America
We're laughing in America

And I tried to be the best in their eyes.
How could they do this
How could they do this
How could they do this to me?
Suffering, the pain and suffering.
Being separate again, separate again
From what I hold dear.
And the shame of the tears
Disappeared, the honors disappeared.
With the betrayal of trust my body and being.
They washed their hands of me
Once and for all.
How could they do this
How could they do this
How could they do this to me?
This statistic wont lay down
Take a number or stand in line
This statistic wants to hear
That they're guilty about their crimes.

This Is Not America - The Song
Words and music by David Bowie and Pat Metheny.
This is not America, sha la la la la
A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die [This is not a miracle]
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long [This is not America]
For this is not the miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la
This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la la]
Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground [This could be the biggest sky]
So bloody red
Tomorrow's clouds
A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die [This could be a miracle]
For this is not America
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
[For this is not America, sha la la la la, sha la la la la, sha la la la la
This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la
This is not america, no, this is not
I'm in a room filled with holographic images
Path is limitless, death? well that's ridiculous
I'm a live forever cause a legend never die
See the world assemble but complex in the design
I spent some time just thinkin'
Where did that get me?
High, more drinkin'
Now my head empty
So can it last a couple minutes more?
Pain a funny thing when you can't figure out the source
Bear witness while I'm checking bitches off my hit list
Try and understand the fuckin' message I encrypted
Ancient, halucinatin' visions of utopia
Until I figure out that the perfect world's a lonely one
Never hold my tongue, vocal is a loaded gun
And I'm a shoot somebody in the face if they're too slow to run
Mac Miller I'm the only one
But I'm the coldest one, this is pandemonium
My middle finger up with a cup
And a dutch spliff, hand on my nuts
While I'm wild and out in public
Welcome to America
Motherfucker, welcome to America [x2]
Still in a room filled with holographic images
Crushing information into powder then I'm sniffin' it
Directly to my head, never sleep or use my bed
Iller than the future death of you ingestin' sudafed
Might head to Budapest just to get a Gucci vest
Hop into a jet, get some rest to diffuse the stress
See this is what I do the best
Nothing that you got except the bullet gettin' through my chest
Save hard, a brave heart, a warrior
I take caution, stay far from coroners
I heard some corny words said about my using dope
Talkin' all that shit sounds exactly like a groupie hoe
Most dope, got you hooked, yellin' Ruffio
First you lose you mind then you lose your soul
So what you talkin' about? thinkin' you're out of options
American border, pipper but formal, above and beyond, Medal of Honor
My middle finger up with a cup
And a dutch spliff, hand on my nuts
While I'm wild and out, public
Welcome to America
Motherfucker, welcome to America [x2]
Yo chick live in Pittsburg? bet I steal her,
Shout out my wigga Mac Miller
Comin' up in a world full of killers
I'll be shaded up at the villa,
With a girl that know what the deal is,
Yea they know I come from the illest
City on a map, we don't know how to act
Realest young rap, go getters in America
Bad chick get tossed around like the merry go
CV and Mac meezy takin' off on PJ's
We the future so every night is a new day
Sittin' in the studio, chain on and my hat low
Young visionaries and we sellin' out the rap show
I can trigger the wave in my sleep
Name paved, I feel like I am engraved on the beat
Wake up, shower, get paid and repeat
Spit one flow and got made on the streets
Welcome to the land where you never stay for free
Swag worth a mill, drop cast for the deal, Veggies
My middle finger up with a cup
And a dutch spliff, hand on my nuts
While I'm wild and out, public
Welcome to America
far, we've been traveling far without a home but not without a star free, only wanna be free we huddle close, hang on to a dream on the boats and on the planes they're coming to america never looking back again they're coming to america home, don't it seem so far away oh we're traveling light today in the eye of the storm in the eye of the storm home, to a new and a shiny place make our bed and we'll say our grace freedom's light burning warm freedom's light burning warm everywhere around the world they're coming to america every time that flag's unfurled they're coming to america got a dream to take 'em there they're coming to america got a dream they've come to share they're coming to america they're coming to america

We're not gonna do it in the bedroom
We're not gonna do it in here
We're not gonna do it in the bathroom
We're not gonna do it in here
We're not gonna do it in the living room
We wanna make it cool
Perhaps we're gonna do it in the backroom
But there is one rule
We're not gonna do it in the backyard
We're not gonna do it in here
We're not gonna do it on the record
We're not gonna do it in here
We're not gonna do it in the suburbs
We wanna make it cool
Perhaps we're gonna do it by downtown
But there is one rule!
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it in the USA
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it in the USA
We're not gonna do it in nature
We're not gonna do it on the stage
We're not gonna do it in the dressing room
We're not gonna do it in a costume
We're not gonna do it for the swing man
We're not gonna do it for the kingdom
Perhaps we're gonna do it for an evidence
Perhaps we're gonna do it for the presidents
We're not gonna do it in America (x5)
We're not gonna do it in the USA
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it in the USA
(x3)
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it in America
We're not gonna do it ..
We're not gonna do it ..
We're not gonna do it in the USA
America, hot as hell, hysterical, cast your spell
The endless road, another night to bend your mind
White line fever, I think that state patrol car's still behind
America, cold as death, up to Canada, Crystal Meth
Another West Coast turnaround and back to start
Yakima Reservation, just another broken heart
America, liked it fine, Sinsemilla, Ripple Wine
Another Schoolgirl with her daddy's Pontiac
Another killer from the wrong side of the tracks
America, fast cars
America, the girls, the bars
America, don't make no fuss
Is this just an illusion
That i made inside my head to get me by
20 years in debt
20 years in the government
20 years can never get me by
Then I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you, ooh
Rise to the top of the world
America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world
America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
From farmers in he fields
To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise
1-7-7-6
The names upon the list
For all the ones that gave until they died
Don't you hold back
I can see in you in your mind and your mind will set you free
And I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you, ooh
Rise to the top of the world
America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world
America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Oh, I see the girls and I think about 'em
Oh, I see world and I think about it
I've been living my life and it's changing the way that I see things
Got a God in my life and it's changing the way that I see things
Well that's wrong
And that's right
A good man
Stop a fight
And a bad man
Well that's right
And that's wrong
Found the truth
In a song
And a good man
I said
Away We Go
Away We Go, America!
Away We Go
Hey there Amigo, America!
I said
Away We Go
Away We Go, America!
Away We Go
Hey there Amigo, America!
Hey, this is Big Darryl with swagger radio here to bring you

Yeah!
Well that's wrong
And that's right
A good man
Stop a fight
And a bad man
Well that's right
And that's wrong
Found the truth
In a song
And a good man
I said
Away We Go
Away We Go, America!
Away We Go
Hey there Amigo, America!
I said
Away We Go
Away We Go, America!
Away We Go
As America is right as America is wrong
As America is weak so America is strong
Ain't nobody perfect At least up until now
But now it's the time for the one mind In this time of darkness
America we need the light
The part that you wrote it on we got to make it right
America, America
We need the light We want the light
We need you If the beauty is still the same
Take me to the beautiful lands
Are you feeding hungry babys
Have you forgotten them, hey old lady
Most people that are living here
Have forgotten they got to be restored the pride, justice andlove
Grabbing us from above America, America
We need the light We want the light
We need you Oh As America is true as America is false
As America may slave so America may abolish
Ain't nobody perfect Let'em all about themselves
But now the time for the perfect mind
A merry day, your beauty can last forever
Open up your eyes we gotta get better
You're two hundred years old today
Come such a long long way
That few words that you wrote correspond with the words you spoke
Get up to what you suppose to say
What America has to say America, America
We need the light We want the light
We need you America is peace As America is power
As America makes peace as America makes war
Ain't nobody perfect, at all until now
And now it's the time for the perfect mind, the perfect mind
We need the light We want some light
We need you As America is brave as America is free
As America is home I see no reason to leave
Ain't nobody perfect Let all about themselves
And now it's the time for the one perfect mind
We need the light We want some light
We need you We need the light We want some light
We need you America, America We want some light
We need the light We need you
You're two hundred years old today
And you've gone such a long long way
We need the light We want some light
We need you America, America, America America,
America, America America, America
Take these lines and blow away
Live your lives do what they say
I don't like the things you do
All the things you put me through
(bridge)
After everything is said and done
Will that be enough?
(Chorus)
Here we go
Love it or leave it alone
When the world is spinning on a dime
Hurry up and waste my time
Here we go, here we go, here we go
Take away this foolish pride
Cuts me up so deep inside
I can't believe you've come this far
I don't believe in who you are
(bridge)
After every game is played and won
It's still not enough
(chorus)
So this is life in America
I'm so disappointed
This is life in America today
going down the U.S.A
land of dope and take away
stars and stripes, bros and bikes
gonna have you one by one
fear the day when we come´
cause we are loyal to none
big america gonna catch up with you
great american, gonna have lots of fun
if it's detroit or L.A
if it's all the same when we get to play

America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb
I don't feel good don't bother me.
I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?
I'm sick of your insane demands.
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?
America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.
Your machinery is too much for me.
You made me want to be a saint.
There must be some other way to settle this argument.
Burroughs is in Tangiers I don't think he'll come back it's sinister.
Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?
I'm trying to come to the point.
I refuse to give up my obsession.
America stop pushing I know what I'm doing.
America the plum blossoms are falling.
I haven't read the newspapers for months, everyday somebody goes on trial for
murder.
America I feel sentimental about the Wobblies.
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I'm not sorry.
I smoke marijuana every chance I get.
I sit in my house for days on end and stare at the roses in the closet.
When I go to Chinatown I get drunk and never get laid.
My mind is made up there's going to be trouble.
You should have seen me reading Marx.
My psychoanalyst thinks I'm perfectly right.
I won't say the Lord's Prayer.
I have mystical visions and cosmic vibrations.
America I still haven't told you what you did to Uncle Max after he came over
from Russia.
I'm addressing you.
Are you going to let our emotional life be run by Time Magazine?
I'm obsessed by Time Magazine.
I read it every week.
Its cover stares at me every time I slink past the corner candystore.
I read it in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library.
It's always telling me about responsibility. Businessmen are serious. Movie
producers are serious. Everybody's serious but me.
It occurs to me that I am America.
I am talking to myself again.
Asia is rising against me.
I haven't got a chinaman's chance.
I'd better consider my national resources.
My national resources consist of two joints of marijuana millions of genitals
an unpublishable private literature that goes 1400 miles and hour and
twentyfivethousand mental institutions.
I say nothing about my prisons nor the millions of underpriviliged who live in
my flowerpots under the light of five hundred suns.
I have abolished the whorehouses of France, Tangiers is the next to go.
My ambition is to be President despite the fact that I'm a Catholic.
America how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?
I will continue like Henry Ford my strophes are as individual as his
automobiles more so they're all different sexes
America I will sell you strophes $2500 apiece $500 down on your old strophe
America free Tom Mooney
America save the Spanish Loyalists
America Sacco & Vanzetti must not die
America I am the Scottsboro boys.
America when I was seven momma took me to Communist Cell meetings they
sold us garbanzos a handful per ticket a ticket costs a nickel and the
speeches were free everybody was angelic and sentimental about the
workers it was all so sincere you have no idea what a good thing the party
was in 1935 Scott Nearing was a grand old man a real mensch Mother
Bloor made me cry I once saw Israel Amter plain. Everybody must have
been a spy.
America you don're really want to go to war.
America it's them bad Russians.
Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians.
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to take
our cars from out our garages.
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a Red Reader's Digest. her wants our
auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our filling stations.
That no good. Ugh. Him makes Indians learn read. Him need big black niggers.
Hah. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Help.
America this is quite serious.
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
America is this correct?
I'd better get right down to the job.
It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts
factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
I'm so bored of education
I'm so bored of you
It's such a frustration situation
And I don't know what to do
I really wish they'd let me be
To work things out my way
America's been good to me
But I laugh when people say
All the kids salute the flag
Uncle Sam wants you
Come on boys, let's hear it for the
Red, white and blue
I'm so bored of television
TV dinner on a TV tray
Join the Pepsi generation
That's the American way
Fight for your country
Fight for survival
Fight for the fear of war
Sometimes I wonder
Who makes the rules
And I wonder who
They're making them for
All the kids salute the flag
Uncle Sam wants you
Come on boys, let's hear it for the
Every where around the world
They're coming to America
Every time the flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream and take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming, to America
They're coming to America

They wanna see blood

Like a sickness with no name
In a world that's insane

I'm in a room filled with holographic images
Path is limitless, death? well that's ridiculous
I'm a live forever cause a legend never die
See the world assemble but complex in the design
I spent some time just thinkin'
Where did that get me?
High, more drinkin'
Now my head empty
So can it last a couple minutes more?
Pain a funny thing when you can't figure out the source
Bear witness while I'm checking bitches off my hit list
Try and understand the fuckin' message I encrypted
Ancient, halucinatin' visions of utopia
Until I figure out that the perfect world's a lonely one
Never hold my tongue, vocal is a loaded gun
And I'm a shoot somebody in the face if they're too slow to run
Mac Miller I'm the only one
But I'm the coldest one, this is pandemonium
My middle finger up with a cup
And a dutch spliff, hand on my nuts
While I'm wild and out in public
Welcome to America
Motherfucker, welcome to America [x2]
Still in a room filled with holographic images
Crushing information into powder then I'm sniffin' it
Directly to my head, never sleep or use my bed
Iller than the future death of you ingestin' sudafed
Might head to Budapest just to get a Gucci vest
Hop into a jet, get some rest to diffuse the stress
See this is what I do the best
Nothing that you got except the bullet gettin' through my chest
Save hard, a brave heart, a warrior
I take caution, stay far from coroners
I heard some corny words said about my using dope
Talkin' all that shit sounds exactly like a groupie hoe
Most dope, got you hooked, yellin' Ruffio
First you lose you mind then you lose your soul
So what you talkin' about? thinkin' you're out of options
American border, pipper but formal, above and beyond, Medal of Honor
My middle finger up with a cup
And a dutch spliff, hand on my nuts
While I'm wild and out, public
Welcome to America
Motherfucker, welcome to America [x2]
Yo chick live in Pittsburg? bet I steal her,
Shout out my wigga Mac Miller
Comin' up in a world full of killers
I'll be shaded up at the villa,
With a girl that know what the deal is,
Yea they know I come from the illest
City on a map, we don't know how to act
Realest young rap, go getters in America
Bad chick get tossed around like the merry go
CV and Mac meezy takin' off on PJ's
We the future so every night is a new day
Sittin' in the studio, chain on and my hat low
Young visionaries and we sellin' out the rap show
I can trigger the wave in my sleep
Name paved, I feel like I am engraved on the beat
Wake up, shower, get paid and repeat
Spit one flow and got made on the streets
Welcome to the land where you never stay for free
Swag worth a mill, drop cast for the deal, Veggies
My middle finger up with a cup
And a dutch spliff, hand on my nuts
While I'm wild and out, public
Welcome to America
My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From ev'ry mountainside,
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees,
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!
Our glorious land today,
'Neath education's sway,
Soars upward still.
Its halls of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
Behold them ev'rywhere,
On vale and hill!
Thy safeguard, liberty,
The school shall ever be
Our nation's pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All there are taught the Right
I come from a far to see her
Every body in the wolrd wants to meet her
I fly thousands of miles to take a picture
So beautiful and magical I dream t of her ever since I was a little boy
So I came to I fnd her
