The Lyrics
loosely based on living in America (well in parts anyway)
Yeah, Hear me out - dig
Slums and Ghettos, from East to West
Can't figure it out , anyhow
Millions living in sheets
Yet they say it's normal
So, just open a window
Only in America
Hiding away our problems
Only in America
Tuck 'em away
Only in America
Ow
We love plastic on our faces
We think we look good
Not goin' down in the hood
But we won't go there
Unless you call us
Even then we keep our hands on our wallets
We'll tell you what to think
Even that you stink
We'll even invade your country
Just like Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan
Only in America
Hiding all our problems
Only in America
Tucking them away
I live in America
Wait a minute
You may be looking for a place to live
Where you can be anything that you want
You can join a group
Like KKK (KKK), Neo-nazi's (neo-nazi's), fascists (fascists)
even the government
Only in America
Ask the Indian
Only in America
Oh we'll need 'em to fight our battles
Only in America
Only in America
Remember 9/11
Only in America
Comemmorations
Only in America
IT SMELLS BAD
Slums and Ghettos, from East to West
Can't figure it out , anyhow
Millions living in sheets
Yet they say it's normal
So, just open a window
Only in America
Hiding away our problems
Only in America
Tuck 'em away
Only in America
Ow
We love plastic on our faces
We think we look good
Not goin' down in the hood
But we won't go there
Unless you call us
Even then we keep our hands on our wallets
We'll tell you what to think
Even that you stink
We'll even invade your country
Just like Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan
Only in America
Hiding all our problems
Only in America
Tucking them away
I live in America
Wait a minute
You may be looking for a place to live
Where you can be anything that you want
You can join a group
Like KKK (KKK), Neo-nazi's (neo-nazi's), fascists (fascists)
even the government
Only in America
Ask the Indian
Only in America
Oh we'll need 'em to fight our battles
Only in America
Only in America
Remember 9/11
Only in America
Comemmorations
Only in America
IT SMELLS BAD
