The Lyrics
Really, the original title says it all
Don't wanna be an American Citizen
Avoid the nation and all of it's denizens
And can you hear the sound of Hysteria?
Not unusual for one America
CHORUS
Welcome to a messed up environment
There's a reason their heads are out of alignment
Too bad stupidity's hereditary
Will they end up seeing tomorrow?
if all their heads remain so damn hollow
in one ear and out the other
So George Bush leaves many people distraught
'Cause what he says proves he has no forethought
The explanation just became clearer
Canadians are saving America
Welcome to a messed up environment
There's a reason their heads are out of alignment
Too bad stupidity's hereditary
Will they end up seeing tomorrow?
if all their heads remain so damn hollow
in one ear and out the other
Don't wanna be an American Citizen
Embarrassing over and over again
So tell me how they keep the status quo
But don't ask them they obviously wouldn't know
Welcome to a messed up environment
There's a reason their heads are out of alignment
Too bad stupidity's hereditary
Will they end up seeing tomorrow?
if all their heads remain so damn hollow
in one ear and out the other
Avoid the nation and all of it's denizens
And can you hear the sound of Hysteria?
Not unusual for one America
CHORUS
Welcome to a messed up environment
There's a reason their heads are out of alignment
Too bad stupidity's hereditary
Will they end up seeing tomorrow?
if all their heads remain so damn hollow
in one ear and out the other
So George Bush leaves many people distraught
'Cause what he says proves he has no forethought
The explanation just became clearer
Canadians are saving America
Welcome to a messed up environment
There's a reason their heads are out of alignment
Too bad stupidity's hereditary
Will they end up seeing tomorrow?
if all their heads remain so damn hollow
in one ear and out the other
Don't wanna be an American Citizen
Embarrassing over and over again
So tell me how they keep the status quo
But don't ask them they obviously wouldn't know
Welcome to a messed up environment
There's a reason their heads are out of alignment
Too bad stupidity's hereditary
Will they end up seeing tomorrow?
if all their heads remain so damn hollow
in one ear and out the other
