51st State

by Thom Yorke

look Out Of Your Windows, Watch The Skies
read All The Instructions With Bright Blue Eyes
we´re W.a.s.p.s, Proud American Sons
we Know How To Clean Our Teeth
And How To Strip Down A Gun
we're The 51st State Of America
our Star-spangled Union Jack Flutters So Proud
over The Dancing Heads Of The Merry Patriotic Crowd
tip Your Hat To The Yankee Conqueror
we've Got No Reds Under The Bed With Guns Under Our Pillows
we're The 51st State Of America
here In The Land Of Opportunity
watch Us Revel In Our Liberty
you Can Say What You Like
but It Doesn't Change Anything
'cos The Corridors Of Power
are An Ocean Away
we're The 51st State Of America

51st State

by Marc Bolan

This is the 51st state
Where democracy has failed
We’ve a war on our consciences and blood under our nails
Oil drums but we’re still paying at the pump
Oil drums it’s a mystery how we got so dumb
Oil drums gotta tell ‘em we don’t want they’re war
Oil drums and then the government will fall
This is the 51st state
where the people have no voice
we’ve been looking for a leader
but we never had a choice
Oil drums but we’re still paying at the pump
Oil drums it’s a mystery how we got so dumb
Oil drums gotta tell ‘em we don’t want they’re war
Oil drums and then the government will fall
