America[00:00:00]
America I've given you all and now I'm nothing[00:00:04]
America two dollars and twenty seven cents January 17 1956[00:00:08]
I can't stand my own mind[00:00:14]
America when will we end the human war[00:00:17]
Go f**k yourself with your atom bomb[00:00:20]
I don't feel good don't bother me[00:00:22]
I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind[00:00:24]
America when will you be angelic[00:00:28]
When will you take off your clothes[00:00:30]
When will you look at yourself through the grave[00:00:32]
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites[00:00:35]
America why are your libraries full of tears[00:00:38]
America when will you send your eggs to India[00:00:41]
I'm sick of your insane demands[00:00:44]
When can I go into the supermarke[00:00:46]
And buy what I need with my good looks[00:00:48]
America after all it is you[00:00:50]
And I who are perfect not the next world[00:00:51]
Your machinery is too much for me[00:00:55]
You made me want to be a saint[00:00:57]
There must be some other way to settle this argument[00:00:59]
Burroughs is in Tangiers[00:01:01]
I don't think he'll come back it's sinister[00:01:03]
Are you being sinister[00:01:05]
Or is this some form of practical joke[00:01:06]
I'm trying to come to the point[00:01:09]
I refuse to give up my obsession[00:01:11]
America stop pushing[00:01:13]
I know what I'm doing[00:01:15]
America the plum blossoms are falling[00:01:16]
I haven't read the newspapers for months[00:01:19]
Everyday somebody goes on trial for murder[00:01:21]
America I feel sentimental about the Wobblies[00:01:23]
America I used to be a communist[00:01:26]
When I was a kid[00:01:27]
I'm not sorry[00:01:28]
I smoke m*******a every chance I get[00:01:30]
I sit in my house for days on end[00:01:32]
And stare at the roses in the closet[00:01:34]
When I go to Chinatown I get drunk[00:01:36]
And never get laid[00:01:38]
My mind is made up there's going to be trouble[00:01:39]
You should have seen me reading Marx[00:01:42]
I have mystical visions and cosmic vibrations[00:01:43]
America I still haven't told you[00:01:47]
What you did to Uncle Max[00:01:48]
After he came over from Russia[00:01:49]
I'm addressing you[00:01:51]
Are you going to let your emotional life[00:01:53]
Be run by Time Magazine[00:01:55]
I'm obsessed by Time Magazine[00:01:57]
I read it every week[00:01:59]
Its cover stares at me every time[00:02:01]
I slink past the corner candystore[00:02:03]
I read it in the basement[00:02:05]
Of the Berkeley Public Library[00:02:06]
It's always telling me about responsibility[00:02:08]
Businessmen are serious[00:02:11]
Movie producers are serious[00:02:13]
Everybody's serious but me[00:02:14]
It occurs to me that I am America[00:02:17]
I am talking to myself again[00:02:20]
Asia is rising against me[00:02:22]
I haven't got a Chinaman's chance[00:02:24]
I'd better consider my national resources[00:02:26]
My national resources consist of[00:02:29]
Two joints of marijuana[00:02:31]
Millions of genitals[00:02:33]
An unpublishable private literature that goes 1400mph[00:02:35]
And twenty five thousand mental institutions[00:02:39]
I say nothing about my prisons[00:02:42]
Nor the millions of underprivileged[00:02:44]
Who live in my flowerpots[00:02:45]
Under the light of five hundred suns[00:02:47]
I have ready abolished the whorehouses of France[00:02:50]
Tangiers is the next to go[00:02:52]
My ambition is to be President despite[00:02:55]
The fact that I'm a Catholic[00:02:57]
America how can I write a holy litany[00:02:59]
In your silly mood[00:03:02]
I will continue like Henry Ford[00:03:04]
My strophes are as individual[00:03:06]
As his automobiles[00:03:08]
More so they're all different sexes[00:03:09]
America I will sell you strophes 2500 apiece[00:03:11]
500 dollars down on your old strophe[00:03:15]
America free Tom Mooney[00:03:17]
America save the Spanish Loyalists[00:03:19]
America Sacco and Vanzetti must not die[00:03:22]
I am the Scottsboro Boys[00:03:25]
America when I was seven mama[00:03:28]
Took me to Communist cell meetings[00:03:29]
They sold us garbanzos[00:03:31]
A handful per ticket[00:03:32]
A ticket costs a nickel[00:03:33]
And the speeches were free[00:03:34]
Everybody was angelic[00:03:35]
And sentimental about the workers[00:03:36]
It was all so sincere you have no idea[00:03:38]
What a good thing the party was in 1835[00:03:39]
Scott Nearing was a grand old man[00:03:42]
A real mensch[00:03:43]
Mother Bloor made me cry[00:03:44]
I once saw Israel Amter playing[00:03:46]
Everybody must have been a spy[00:03:48]
America you don't really want to go to war[00:03:50]
America it's them bad Russians[00:03:53]
Them Russians them Russians[00:03:56]
And them Chinamen[00:03:57]
And them Russians[00:03:57]
The Russia wants to eat us alive[00:04:00]
The Russia's power mad[00:04:02]
She wants to take our cars from out our garages[00:04:04]
Her wants to grab Chicago[00:04:06]
Her needs a Red Readers' Digestses[00:04:08]
Her wants our auto plants in Siberia[00:04:12]
Him big bureaucracy running our fillingstations[00:04:14]
That no good Ugh[00:04:17]
Him make Indian learn read[00:04:19]
Him need big black niggers ah[00:04:21]
Her make us all work sixteen hours a day Help[00:04:24]
America this is quite serious[00:04:28]
America this is the impression[00:04:30]
I get from looking in a television set[00:04:31]
America is this correct[00:04:33]
I'd better get right down to the job[00:04:35]
It's true I don't want to join the Army[00:04:37]
Or turn lathes in precision parts factories[00:04:39]
I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway[00:04:41]
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel[00:04:44]
