America

by Radiohead

Where freedom is no myth
Where you hold on to it
An eagle in a cage
That gets on with its life
And somehow will survive
And it will rise and fall
Not unlike us all
America
You worked hard to get on top
And there's nothing here to stop you
You show it on TV
Where everyone looks tall
A prom queen in the mall
How she'd kill to get it all
America
Are you hated everywhere
Do you know and do you care
Well I know you're getting there
The hope you have is real
The hope I hope to feel
One day we will share it all
We'll Dive into the waterfall
America
The hope you have is real
The hope I hope to feel
One day we will share it all
We'll Dive into the waterfall
ROSALIA:
Puerto Rico...
You lovely island ...
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapples growing,
Always the coffee blossoms blowing...
ANITA (mockingly):
Puerto Rico:
You ugly island...
Island of tropic diseases.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing...
And the money owing,
And the babies crying,
And the bullets flying.
I like the island Manhattan -
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
OTHERS (except Rosalia):
I like to be in America!
Okay by me in America!
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
ROSALIA:
I like the city of San Juan
ANITA:
I know a boat you can get on.
ROSALIA:
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom.
ANITA:
Hundreds of people in each room!
ALL (except Rosalia):
Automobile in America,
Chromium steel in America,
Wire-spoke wheel in America,
Very big deal in America!
ROSALIA:
I'll drive a Buick through San Juan.
ANITA:
If there's a road you can drive on!
ROSALIA:
I'll give my cousins a free ride
ANITA:
How can you get all of them inside?
ALL (except Rosalia):
Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America,
Nobody knows in America,
Puerto Rico's in America!
(The girls dance around Rosalia.)
ROSALIA:
I'll bring a TV to San Juan.
ANITA:
If there's a current to turn on!
ROSALIA:
I'll give them new washing machine.
ANITA:
What have they got there to keep clean?
ALL (except Rosalia):
I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in Am

America

by Alejandro Montaner

What a drag it is
The shape i'm in
Well I go out somewhere
Then I come home again
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Happiness came and went
I got the movie script
But I don't know what it meant
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That I can believe in
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Yes I got the news
When you get it straight, but stand up you just can't lose
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life
Dont stand me up
Don't let me down
I need you tonight
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold..
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
she's lost in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Tell me how does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel?

America

by Queen

You brought us the a-bomb
In so many ways endorsed by God and The Book
So God loves a war monger?
Hey Mr. Blix: forget Iraq and the time it took
'Cause I know just where to look
Could we have a vote please?
They came with a song - America
They wouldn't stay long - America
We are America
God bless America
God bless America and Capitol Hill
'Cause no one else will
So now you are scared
The arabs will kill for their god
Like you do for yours?
Protect your obesity with your life man
Hey - Angry God or Diet Coke?
Who cares it's all a joke
Heil homo pecuniae
Saving us yet another time
Earning a buck on every dime
Sick of America
Sick of America
Sick of America and Capitol Hill
Moving in for the next kill
Did you say I love you?
A simpler democracy
Where every flaw and failure is called a Right
A new form of freedom
Based on your income, your color, creed
And your choice of gun
But it provides great fun
Dr. Phil or Oprah?
Letterman or Leno?
Idol or Big Brother?
[We'll be back after this short break]
It could have been good America
It could have been great America
Land of the brave and free
Welcoming you and me
But this Brave New World is not as new anymore
Each day a new store
Each year a new war
While chosen whites rule the poor
In America
Oh America
Don't you walk out on me
Just wait a second now
Please hear me out
Oh
I'll do my best to love you
Oh yes I will
I know you're out there
C'mon
Raise your voices
Don't let them ruin your reputation
Don't let them wreck your constitution
Not out of fear
Not out of greed
But you had a good run America
Your day in the sun America
Hello British Empire
Hello Roman Empire
Hello Soviet
There is a new kid in town
Joining the gone down
Finding what you found
Treading your worn, worn down ground
Rise to your former glory
Be brave and warm
Oh America
If I say I love you
If I say I love you
If I say I love you
Dare you love me too?

America

by Vaquero

De america yo soy
de america yo soy
haber nacido en america es como una bendicion
tierra de bellas imagenes que alegra el corazon
mosaico de mil colores
bellas mujeres y flores
para los pueblos de america les canto mi cancion
Y mira el color de la tierra yo he nacido
y por herencia mi idioma es el castellano
alla en estados unidos me dicen que soy latino
pero no me quieren decir que soy un americano
soy el gaucho que galopa por las pampas
tambien soy un charrua un jíbaro o utumano
tambien soy un chapino un eskimal principe maya
tambien soy un guajiro un charro mexicano
El que nace en europa es europeo
y el que nace en africa oye que es un africano
pero aquel que haya nacido en america ahi no veo
porque demonios no debe ser americano
america es todo el continente y el que nace aqui es un americano
pero mira el color puede ser diferente
pero a los ojos de dios todos somos hermanos
Desde argentina colombia ecuador y paraguay
brasil chile costarrica salvador y el uruguay
venezuela y guatemala mexico cuba y bahamas
todos son americanos sin importar el color.

America

by Roberta Flack

Let your glory fly
If my people will humbly pray
Turn from sin and their wicked ways
I will hear them and heal their land
And show my glory and power again
Lift your eyes up
Look to the sky
The Lord is coming, coming to America
Can you feel the fire
Can you see the wind
Blowing through
Coming to America again
Go and tell them the blind will see
The lame will walk and the slave is free
Shout the news that the lost are saved
In the name of Jesus the dead are raised
*from the album |The Noise We Make| *

America

by Yordano

AMERICA JUEGA PARA SER CAMPEON
DE LA MANO DE OCHOA COMENZO EL SABOR
CON CAMILO SERVINO Y CHINOLA ARAGON
FUERON TIEMPOS DE LUCHA
PARA LO QUE ES HOY
AMERICA DE CALI DE JUBILO LLENA
A UNA HINCHADA QUE DE TODAS
ES LA MAS BELLA
SUPIMOS AGUANTAR
UN EQUIPO ESPERAR
Y AHORA AÑO TRAS AÑO
VEMOS CORONAR
CORO.

America

by Plazma

This is america
Pod and santana live in la casa
Live and direct for you and yours
Yo america, america
Was it the way that she looked at me
She had caught my eye
She stole my heart she freed my mind
The way we loved it was magical
Truly wonderful
It was me and you so beautiful
And I know that you feel this too
Will our dreams come true
I believe in you
Show me the way to my better days
Whats the price to pay
If I follow you
Chorus
America, america
Will you come back to me baby please dont run away dont let me go
America, america
Can you get back to me baby dont run away I need you so
I trust in you still you walk away
You just ran away
I thought our love would never change
The way you move had me hypnotized
Now I realize
I fell again the same old lies
Plans you change the present rearranged
If we dont know the path the future we cant attain
So I maintain, dealt my hands so I deal with it
Know what is truth myself
I stay real with it

America

by Toxik

Don't ya wanna come to my motel honey?
Don't ya wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't ya know that I have really loved nobody, but you?
I'll do my hair up all high and wide, wild flowers tied
Green swimming pool pink flamingos, high christmas lights
Blue bedspread and silver tinsel, my hearts delight
Don't ya wanna come to my motel honey?
Don't ya wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't ya know that I have really never loved nobody, but you?
Do you like my fake nails daddy?
Black palmtree pink tiger-stripes
Used to go to the kamfreena
Will you buy me a slice of cherry pie?
We didn't know much, just worked at night
Sweet trailer light
1,2..
Don't ya wanna come to my motel honey?
Don't ya wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't ya know that I have really loved nobody, but you?
Don't ya wanna come to my motel honey?
Don't ya wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Never loved nobody, but you
He said: Lana-Ray, will you serve me lemonade?
And I said: yes Bill I will, its the day of the parade
and you look even more handsome than you did
the day that I left you
And I said: how do you spend your nights, honey?
Still watchin' TV? I long to be in your arms, sugar,
Come back to me
Please
All I want is to feel good
All I want is to feel good
All I want is to feel good you know?
Come on now if you want to
If you want to if you want to
Its been a long time
Don't ya wanna come to my motel honey?
Don't ya wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Don't ya know that I have really loved nobody, but you?
Don't ya wanna come to my motel honey?
Don't ya wanna hold me down, tell me that you love me?
Never loved nobody, but you

America

by Hoobastank

Some have said, down through history
If you last it's a mystery
But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America, A-mer-ica
Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, A-mer-ica
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, A-mer-ica
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America
All the men, who fell on the plains
And lived, through hardship and pain
America, A-mer-ica
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home, A-mer-ica
And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America
Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, A-mer-ica
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, A-mer-ica
America, A-mer-ica
It's home sweet home, A-mer-ica
America, A-mer-ica

America

by camille

Alright.
Hey, hey what do you say?
I come from a place called the U.S. of A.
Ho, ho what do you know?
Hop in my car and let's go.
Well this is a song for America,
Home of the red, white, and blue.
Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean,
Apple pie, baseball, and Shell gasoline,
And if you don't love her fuck you.
Beloved by all from Tikrit to Beijing,
If the world were a school we'd be homecoming king.
Worshiped by France and by North Vietnam,
Afghanistan thinks we're the bomb.
Oh, this is a song for America,
Home of the red, white, and blue.
Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean,
Apple pie, baseball, and Shell gasoline,
SUVs, handguns, and US magazine,
And if you don't love her, fuck you.
Our human rights record is something of note:
We freed all our slaves and gave women the vote.
Everyone's equal forever, always,
Unless you're one of them gays.
Oh, this is a song for America,
Home of the red, white, and blue.
Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean,
Apple pie, baseball, and Shell gasoline,
SUVs, handguns, and US magazine,
Low-carb diets and fast food cuisine,
And if you don't love her fuck you.
To all war-torn nations, to those in turmoil,
We'll help you kill despots, we'll help you drill oil,
And if you don't want our help, that's ok
We're coming in anyway.
Oh, this is a song for America,
Home of the red, white, and blue.
Land of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean,
Apple pie, baseball, and Shell gasoline,
SUVs, handguns, and US magazine,
Low-carb diets and fast food cuisine,
Crack cocaine, Abu Ghraib, and nicotine,
Swindling CEOs getting off clean,
Housewives all hopped up on amphetamine,
Nipples get rated NC-17,
FEMA and levies and Hurr'cane Katrine
George Bush's great rolling war machine.
I think we're in trouble, don't you?
It might seem I don't think our country's so great,
But intolerance, bigotry, greed's what I hate.
Most folks are honest and decent and true,
Peaceful, compassionate, good through and through.
That's what it means to be red, white, and blue,
And if you don't think so fuck you,
If you don't think so fuck you.

America

by Lonestar

Lucy came to the timberline
Climbed up on to Rainier and
Looked out over Washington
Swore she could see the apple trees
And she said "ooo ooo oh I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here"
Peter came to the city and
Climbed up into Liberty and
Looked out over Manhattan
He swore he could see the beauty there
And he said " ooo ooo oh I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here"
Find a place
To call home
Any place
To call home
Right here
And so I came in the dead of night
Climbed up into the satellite and
Looked out over America
I swear I could see the buffalo
Ooo ooo oh and I never wanna leave
Ooo ooo this place
Ooo ooo yes I always wanna be
Right here, right here

America

by Tankard

You'd think by now I've learned to fake it
You'd think by now I'd find my peace
And there's no risk for me worth taking
You'd think that I'd go quietly
But the journey's still on for my America
You'd think by now I'd take the easy way
And be content with what I've seen
You'd think by now I'd get it in to my head
I'm the same boy I have always been
So the journey's still on for my America
You'd think by now I'd be to jaded
To feel what love can do
You'd think by now that I've done everything I can
In finally reaching you
But the journey's still on for my America

Paul Simon
(Full version on Yesterdays, The New Age of Atlantic, or KTA)
(Edited single version is available on the Yesyears album)
Let us be lovers
We'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes
And Mrs. Wagner's Pies
And walked on, walked on, walked on
To look for America
'Kathy,' I said as we boarded a Greyhound to Pittsburg,
'Michigan seems like a dream to me now'
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the Gabardine suit was a spy
I said, 'Be carefull his bow tie is really a camera.'
Kathy I'm lost I said
Although I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and I'm aching
And I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
You were lost and got lucky Came upon the shore
Found you were conquering America
You spoke of peace
But waged a war While you were conquering America
There was land to take And people to kill
While you were conquering America
You served yourself
Did God's will While you were conquering America
The ghost of Columbus haunts this world
'Cause you're still conquering America
The meek won't survive
Or inherit the earth 'Cause you're still conquering
America America America
You found bodies to serve Submit and degrade
While you were conquering America
Made us soldiers and junkies
Prisoners and slaves While you were conquesting America
America America America
Your hands are at my throat My back's against the wall
Because you're still conquering America
W're sick and tired hungry and poor
'Cause you're still conquering America
You bomb the very ground That feeds your own babies
You're still conquering America
Your sons and your daughters
May never sing your praises While you're conquering America
America America America
I see your eye seek a distant shore While you're conquering America
Taking rockets to the moon Trying ot find a new world
And you're still conquering America
America America America
The ghost of Columbus haunts this world
'Cause you're still conquering America
You're still conquering America
You're still conquering America

America

by Celine Dion

”Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together”
”I've got some real estate here in my bag”
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And walked off to look for America
”Kathy”, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
”Michigan seems like a dream to me now”
And it took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said “be careful his bowtie is really a camera”
”Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat”
”We smoked the last one an hour ago”
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
”Kathy, I'm lost” I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America

America

by Beck

[Verse 1]
Before all I saw was gangsters, coming up as a youngster
Pussy and money the only language I clung to
Clang to, unrolled myself up to become one
Ain't you happy I chose rap? I'm a munster
Streets deceiving, can't believe my achievements
Cultural strata, persona is that of a non-needer
'Cause I don't need nada cept for Prada beaver
For cold winters, tattoos got my summer sleeveless
To my G's on the flee from the coppers
Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors
From the slums I come up a phoenix
Caked up, tryin' to take what I'm eating
Came up a dismissive kid
You lucky if you allowed to witness this
Saavy, mild, wild hardly
A man's man, who would've knew the beach houses and wild parties
Jezebels and Stella McCartneys
For years, all that, how can I not be dead
This old German said I was a thug with a notty head
Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled
With a face like he wondered where I got my bread
Probably all these stones he see
From my shows overseas
From crime to rhyme, my story is I'm from the home of the thieves
[Chorus]
America, pay attention
Wake up, this is not what you think it is
America, pay attention
This is not what you think it is
[Verse 2]
Blessed, the Lord is a G, he gotta be
Who's the god of suckers and snitches? The economy
Lipstick from Marilyn Monroe, blew a death kiss
To Fidel Castro, he want me to spit this
Only the strong survive, Nas bear witness
The hypocrisy is all I can see
White cop acquitted for murder, black cop cop a plea
That type of shit make me stop and think
We in chronic need of a second look of the law books
And the whole race dichotomy
Too many rappers, athletes and actors
But not enough niggas in NASA
Who gives you the latest dances, trends and fashion?
But when it comes to residuals they look past us
Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us
Even the white tees, blue jeans and red bandanas
[Chorus]
America, pay attention
Wake up, this is not what you think it is
America, pay attention
This is not what you think it is
[Verse 3]
Assassinations, diplomatic relations
Killed indigenous peoples, built a new nation
Involuntary labor, took a knife, split a woman's navel
Took her premature baby, let her man see you rape her
If I could travel to the 1700's
I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite through your covenant
Love to sit on the Senate and tell the whole government
Y'all don't treat women fair, she read about herself in the bible
Believing she the reason sinners here
You played her, with an apron, like, bring me my dinner dear
She the nigger here, ain't we in the free world?
Death penalty in Texas, kill young boys and girls
Barbarity, I'm in the double-R casually
Buggin', how I made it out the hood dazzles me
How far are we really from third world savagery?
When the empire fall imagine how crazy that'll be
[Outro]

Puerto Rico,
My heart’s devotion--
Let it sink back in the ocean.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing,
And the money owing.
And the sunlight streaming,
And the natives steaming.
I like the island Manhattan,
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here

Tell me how does it feel

America

by Wings

We came like babies
From our home across the sea to see America
And the people opened up their arms
To welcome us... to America
We came like children
From a far and distant land to see America
And the golden sun of freedom
filtered down to us, in America
And the people stood and stared
Loved us more than we had dared to, in America
Super highways here and there
Pretty womens everywhere
Brady Bunch and Smokey Bear
Buildings reaching to the sky
Afro-sheen and apple pie
PTA and FBI
Jumbo jet begins to rise
A joyful nation waves its bye-byes
Each religion, race, and creed
gets exactly what they need
God bless Johnny Appleseed

America

by Wings

We came like babies
From our home across the sea to see America
And the people opened up their arms
To welcome us... to America
We came like children
From a far and distant land to see America
And the golden sun of freedom
filtered down to us, in America
And the people stood and stared
Loved us more than we had dared to, in America
Super highways here and there
Pretty womens everywhere
Brady Bunch and Smokey Bear
Buildings reaching to the sky
Afro-sheen and apple pie
PTA and FBI
Jumbo jet begins to rise
A joyful nation waves its bye-byes
Each religion, race, and creed
gets exactly what they need
God bless Johnny Appleseed

[Intro: Killah Priest, Raekwon]
"Continous"
"Yeah, youknowhatI'msayin?"
"Wu-Tang"
"Aiyyo aiyyo, come on yo yo yo I'ma shoot over here"
"On that AIDS thing"
"YouknowhatI'msayin? I'm gonna just slide in the studio quick"
"Yo, yo"
"And get this done"
[Verse One: Killah Priest]
When you're sexually frustrated, plus waiting for a long time
You both had strong minds
Combined with feelings, she seems appealing
for each other, discreet lover, no longer keeps brothers
Smothered under deep covers
Erotic programs, Moet and slow jams
Enough to make you hold hands
And plus you a bold man
You fall in a manhole, where the forbidden tree grow
And bullshit ego, of fly negro
Whole garden sour, polluted with a dead flower
Months later, he's layin on a respirator
Depending on a generator, to keep his heart moving
And start losing sight in his right eye
In weeks he might die
[Verse Two: Raekwon]
Yeah, uh-huh
I know this dope-fiend cat, word up, his name is Javier
Part-time shooter sharing needles in the stairs
Wise guys disguised as a fly guy
you gettin high right? Weeded up with red shit in your right eye
Youse a menace, your brain cells finished
Begging forgiveness, calling that up top shit syphillis
You know what you was gettin into
Try to guess on what I've been through
Fuck shorty raw then she scared you
[Chorus: Raekwon]
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from the Wu, it's real
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from my crew, it's real
[Verse Three: RZA]
My nigga Chuck, he loved to fuck
Everything exotic bitches down to ugly ducks
Like Nancy, who liked the fancy tickles
so he put popsicles on her nipples to make her sex passion
triple quadriple, until she bust
Overcome with passion, big ass want lust upon him
But nigga he forsake to grab the condom
Fuck it, he said AIDS, was government made
to keep niggaz afraid so they won't get laid no babies be made
And the black population will decrease within a decade
German warfare product against the dark shade
[Chorus:]
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from my crew, it's real
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from the Wu, it's real
[Verse Four: Master Killer, Inspector Deck]
Caught by the gravitation earth rotation
Six in the sex is deep, when you can't see clear
through the sheer brassiere, toke back
Smoking a spliff, sippin cognac, God
you know my two love songs, Bobby Womack tracks
Got her fat ass layin flat on her back
Yo, as she lay, she wore a silk gray neglige
Alehze pours, the radio play, Marvin Gaye
What's Going On? As she screams Sexual Healing
Couldn't fight the feeling her legs hit the ceiling
Hittin all positions dipped in for quick love
She's professional she does this shit in strip clubs
Flied in June until she Acquired Immune Deficiency
Now misery is the Syndrome
[Outro: Raekwon and others]
Oh shit, God that's wild
Damn, that's some cherry flavor shit going on though kid
For real, knowhatI'msayin?
What about the exotic type
Caskets is waitin for brothers
Word up slide on the joints baby
Before you go to sex take protection
Word up
AIDS kills, word up respect this
America Is Dying Slowly (4x)
Yeah, word yo, sliding up in this store right here
I ain't even playing that man, for real
Dig it
Respect how I'm living kid
Here forever, word up
Lubricated joints, ribbed joints is bangin
But they still playing the hotel door man
Word, you know how that be though, you know how that be
Yo, just gettin to be too old
Chick over there lookin like Sonny and Cher
Over there
Yeah
America Is Dying Slowly
Surely
America Is Dying Slowly
America Is Dying Slowly
remember that! Syndrome, be the resident
America Is Dying Slowly
Wu-Tang, Syndrome, be the resident
Noodles, Bobby Steels, Lou Diamonds, Killer Priest
Rolly Rollie Fingers, Johnathan Blaze, Maximillion
Prodigal Sons, Anthony Starks, Hellrazor
Prodigal Son, and in the place, Sixty Second
Sunz of Man, Gambinos, forever...
Keep it safe!
Ol Dirt Schultz, word up baby
Protect yourself!
Keep it safe

America

by The White Stripes

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigaret I think there's one in the raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenary she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy I'm lost I said though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America

America

by janet jackson

Walkin' 2 the corner of Main Street, USA
Look at the good people, hear what they gotta say-uh-huh
All right
See a sexy girl with her long black hair
See a preacher man sporting Abercrombie wear-uh-huh
All right
Walk into a corner store
A man says, "This is what I'm fighting for"
[CHORUS]
We are living in America
We're giving in America
We're tripping in America
Everywhere I go, seems like Bush is on TV
We shed blood in the name of liberty-uh-huh
All right
The circus tents are dead, but the sideshow is doing well
The Osbournes and Anna Nicole are too freaky 2 tell-uh-huh
All right
Take the bad with the good
I wanna change it, but I wouldn't leave it if I could
We are trying in America
We're spying in America
Getting high in America
We are laughing in America
We're crying in America
We're dying in America
We are trucking in America
We are f**king in America
We are lucky in America
We are breaking ground in America
Just another town in America
We are breaking down in America
Take the bad with the good
I wanna change it, but I wouldn't leave it if I could
[CHORUS]
We are trying in America
We're spying in America
We're getting high in America
We are getting tan in America
We love Spam in America
Polanski's banned from America
10 million served in America
Have u heard in America?
We're crying in America
We're laughing in America
We're living in America

America

by Rilo Kiley

We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
Wenn getanzt wird, will ich führen,
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht,
lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren,
Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
We're all living in America...
Ich kenne Schritte, die sehr nützen,
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen,
und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss,
weiß noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss!
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
ich werde Euch die Richtung zeigen,
nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus,
und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
Refrain:
We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
This is not a love song,
this is not a love song.
I don't sing my mother tongue,
No, this is not a love song.
We're all living in America,
Amerika is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

See other lands
And don't be livin' for the other man
Take time out and settle in
Be the better man
And close ? watch your friends
And then
You'll understand
A lil' better then
But on the other hand
You so god damn stubboran
And you be
Startin' shit
And ever since you made president
We ain't even seen you since
You need to (You need to)
Fill our schools
Rebuild our church and homes
Stop killin' my own kind
And leave my Earth alone
And stop tappin' my phone
And searchin' my brone
And keep your personal feelings home
When you bandin' my chrome
Do it for the
Weak and the strong
And to each his own
We do it for the main goal
So when all the heat is gone
[Chorus]
This game wasn't told to me (Told to me)
It was sold to me (Sold to me)
And we are never free (No!)

And all the lies you done sworn

When your whole congregation drivin' a brand new Benz
And writing brand new sins

And all my brothers, sisters, them daddys, and them doin' time in the Penn

Yeah
Peace!
Aristocrats on a mountain climb
Making money, losing time
Communism is just a word
But if the government turn over
It'll be the only word that's heard
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
Little sister making minimum wage
Living in a 1-room jungle-monkey cage
Can't get over, she's almost dead
She may not be in the black
But she's happy she ain't in the red
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
Freedom
Love
Joy
Peace
Jimmy Nothing never went 2 school
They made him pledge allegiance
He said it wasn't cool
Nothing made Jimmy proud
Now Jimmy lives on a mushroom cloud
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
Freedom

Joy
Peace
Boom, boom, boom, boom
The bomb go
Boom, boom, boom, boom
The bomb go boom.
Teacher, why won't Jimmy pledge allegiance?

Far,
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free,
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again,
They're coming to America
Home, Don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're traveling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home, To a new and a shiny place
Make our bed and we'll say our grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to America
Ev'ry time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
They're coming to America
Today, Today,
Today, Today, Today
My country 'tis of thee (today)
Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today)
Of thee I sing
Today, Today, Today
Today, today, today...

Is this just an illusion
That I made inside my head to get me by?
20 years in debt
20 years in the government
20 years can never get me by
Then I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
From farmers in the fields
To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise
1-7-7-6
The names upon the list
For all the ones that gave until they died
Don't you hold back
I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free
And I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on

Oiso, die G'schicht is a jene, des waß a jeder, weu des liegt doch auf der Hand
Es war mit Bock und Roll-Musik net immer leicht in diesem Land
Was in mir sitzt ist weiß gespritzt, des is ma völlig kloar,
obgleich ich Whisky zech'n tua seitdem in USA ich woar.
Dort sagen's Falco you are wonderful, kumm habt's mi langsam gern
Wenns meine Records trotzdem kaufen tätads, tät' des mi net stör'n
Das Typische an mir, i bin untypisch, ganz und goar
Amoi hoch und amoi tiaf, amoi g'spritzt, dann wieder kloar
Ihr werd's mi nehmen müssen, wia i bin, i sag's euch lieba glei
Zeigts ma den nächsten schlanken Fuaß, dann bin vielleicht live dabei
America, wenns ihr ma glaubads, wia ma euch vermissen kann
America, wenns ihr ma glaubads, wia ma euch vermissen kann
Spiel auf Reagan, come on - lalala
Der Spiegel sagte: Wien is vurn, wenns der net waß', wer dann
Wenn der Mr. Smith a Glotz'n hat, verkauf' ma eam an Kamm
Der Herr war dick, das Madl slick, sodenn er lallend fragt:

Me hueles a merengue y a bolero a caña y a café
Me hueles a corrido y a charango carnavalito y miel
Me hueles a maracas y a guitarras
a gaucho solitario y a sabana a piel morena y sal
Me hueles a canela y a bananas
herida siempre y siempre maltratada
soñando libertad
Coro
América, América
Me hueles a guayaba a cordillera helada
A tierra verde y lluvia tropical
Me hueles a pradera y a eterna primavera
Me hueles a futuro y libertad
Me hueles a tabaco y a maníes a dátiles y a ron
Me hueles a inmigrantes que se fueron cantando una canción
Me hueles a torrente y a quebrada
a sangre campesina derramada para tu libertad
Me hueles a mujer enamorada
herida siempre y siempre abandonada soñando frente al mar
Coro
América, América

I like to be in America
OK by me in America
Everything's free in America
For a small fee in America
Automobile in America
Chromium steel in America
Wire spoke wheel in America
Very big deal in America
I like the city of San Juan
I know a boat you can get on
Everyone there will give big cheers
Everyone there will have moved here
I'll drive my Buick through San Juan
If there's a road you can drive on
I'll give my cousins a free ride
How you fit all of them inside
Immigrant goes to America
Many hello's in America
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico's in America
I like the shores of America
Many galores in America
Knock on the doors in America
Wall to wall floors in America
I like to go back to San Juan
Why don't you just shut up and get gone
I'll bring a tv to San Juan
If there's a current to turn on
I like to be in America
OK by me in America
Everything's free in America
For a small fee in America
Oh let me hear everybody now

Cercherò mi sono sempre detta cercherò
Troverai mi hanno sempre detto troverai
Per oggi sto con me mi basto
e nessuno mi vede
E allora accarezzo la mia solitudine
Ed ognuno ha il suo corpo a cui sa cosa chiedere
Chiedere chiedere chiedere
Fammi sognare lei si morde la bocca
e si sente l'America
Fammi volare lui allunga la mano e si tocca l'America
Fammi l'amore forte sempre piu forte come fosse l'America
Fammi l'amore forte sempre piu forte ed io sono l'America
Cercherai mi hanno sempre detto cercherai
E troverò ora che ti accarezzo
troverò Ma quanto fantasia ci vuole
per sentirsi in due
quando ognuno è da sempre con la sua solitudine
e regala il suo corpo , ma non sa cosa chiedere
Fammi volare lei le mani sui fianchi come fosse l'America
Fammi sognare lui che scende e che sale e si sente l'America
Fammi l'amore lei che pensa ad un altro e si inventa l'America
Fammi l'amore forte sempre piu forte ed io sono l'America
