America - Stephen Lynch

Hey Hey What do you say

I come from a place called the US of A

Ho Ho What do you know

Hop in my car and let’s go

Well, This is a song for America

Home of the red, white and blue

Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean

Apple pie, baseball and Shell gasoline

And if you don’t love her, fuck you

Beloved by all from Tikrit to Beijing

If the world were a school we’d be homecoming king

Worshipped by France and by North Vietnam

Afghanistan thinks we’re the bomb

Oh, This is a song for America

Home of the red, white and blue

Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean

Apple pie, baseball and Shell gasoline

SUV’s, handguns and US magazine

And if you don’t love her, fuck you

Our human rights record is something of note

We freed all our slaves and gave women the vote

Everyone’s equal forever, always

Unless you’re one of them gays

Oh, This is a song for America

Home of the red, white and blue

Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean

Apple pie, baseball and Shell gasoline

SUV’s, handguns and US magazine

Low carb diets and fast food cuisine

And if you don’t love her, fuck you

To all war torn nations, to those in turmoil

We’ll help you kill despots we’ll help you drill oil

And if you don’t want our help, that’s okay

We’re coming in anyway

Oh, This is a song for America

Home of the red, white and blue

Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean

Apple pie, baseball and Shell gasoline

SUV’s, handguns and US magazine

Low carb diets and fast food cuisine

Crack cocaine, Abu Ghraib and nicotine

Swindling CEOs getting off clean

Housewives all hopped up on amphetamine

Nipples get rated NC-17

FEMA and levies and Hurricane Katrine

George Bush’s great rolling war machine

I think we’re in trouble don’t you

It might seem I don’t think our country’s so great

But intolerance, bigotry, greed’s what I hate

Most folks are honest and decent and true

Peaceful, compassionate, good through and through

That’s what it means to be red, white and blue

And if you don’t think so, fuck you

If you don’t think so, fuck you
