That's America - Bruce McCulloch[00:00:00]
Lyrics by:Bruce McCulloch[00:00:00]
Composed by:Brian Connelly[00:00:00]
Produced by:Bob Wiseman[00:00:00]
Some people look at a flag swaying in the breeze at the[00:00:00]
White House and say[00:00:03]
That's America[00:00:04]
Whenever I see an American flag hung in a window[00:00:06]
Of a basement apartment by guys[00:00:09]
Who have better things to do with their money than buy curtains[00:00:12]
I say that's America to me[00:00:15]
In America[00:00:22]
There are fifty-one states[00:00:23]
Or maybe it's eighty by now[00:00:25]
Does England count[00:00:27]
I'm not quite sure[00:00:29]
The one thing I am sure of is[00:00:30]
If I'm standing in a warehouse[00:00:32]
Beside a time clock[00:00:34]
And a guy is punching in his best friend[00:00:35]
Who's too hungover to get out of bed[00:00:37]
I'm standing in America[00:00:40]
The makeover capital of the world[00:00:42]
The place where every young man has[00:00:47]
To answer in his heart the question[00:00:49]
What do you love more[00:00:51]
Your girlfriend or your car[00:00:53]
Where that young man can buy a beat-up car[00:00:57]
For three hundred dollars[00:00:59]
But have to spend a thousand to insure it[00:01:01]
The land where even a paper boy can option[00:01:05]
The film rights to a book[00:01:07]
America[00:01:10]
In America[00:01:13]
A woman on an assembly line works out[00:01:14]
Her overtime and ahed to infinity[00:01:16]
And at the exact same moment[00:01:19]
Her husband gets into a car crash[00:01:21]
Because he was looking at a girl in a tube top[00:01:23]
America a land where spelling doesn't count[00:01:26]
People's pets do[00:01:30]
Where else can a guy get a job riding[00:01:33]
A whale at Marine Land[00:01:36]
The land where a guy's girlfriend breaks up[00:01:41]
With him over the phone[00:01:42]
So he takes a gun and kills the principal[00:01:44]
Everyone's sad until they get the day off[00:01:48]
Next week another guy another gal[00:01:53]
Another we can still be friends phone call[00:01:56]
Whuh-oh[00:01:59]
The assistant principal gets killed[00:02:00]
And everyone is sad because they don't get the day off[00:02:02]
Because he was only the assistant principal[00:02:05]
America a land of opportunity[00:02:08]
Yes that great lumbering beast that journeys tirelessly[00:02:12]
And stops only to eat a clubhouse sandwich[00:02:17]
Pick it's teeth with a matchbook cover[00:02:20]
And fall asleep with the TV on[00:02:22]
America a place for Americans[00:02:25]
