America Is Songtext
von Violent Femmes

America is
America is
America is
America is

America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream, so fuck, fuck full of it

Look at the Indians
Look at the blacks
Look at the figures
Look at the facts
Look at the facts
The facts not the lies
And you′ll find out, big surprise!

That America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream, so fuck, fuck full of it


Check out the Indians
Check out the blacks
And then you check out the figures
And then you check out the facts
Check out some facts
Check out the facts, not the lies
And you'll find out
It′s a big surprise right between the eyes

America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
America is the home of the hypocrite
American dream is only a dream

No desperation limit
New desperation level
Even though my nose don't work
I smell trouble, I smell trouble

No desperation limit
New desperation level
Murder, murder in the government
Say you're sorry, say you′re sorry

No desperation limit
New desperation level
Turn the key, turn the lock
Nationalism, you can suck my


No desperation limit
New desperation level
Watch how the world′s progressing everywhere
Aggression, aggression
Aggression, aggression
Aggression, aggression
