"America" lyrics

America

Walking to 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 to 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 fucking 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 living in America
We're giving in America
We're tripping in America

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
Ten million served in America

Have you heard in America?
We're crying in America
We're laughing in America
We're living in America
