Lyrics We Just Came from the U.S.A. - Burton Cummings

We Just Came from the U.S.A.

We don’t take no prisoners
For the funk police
We keep our eyes wide open
And we protect the peace
Got a real basic instinct
To use a real big stick
Gonna rewrite history
Get out the good pen quick
Hey, hey, get out of my way
We just came from the U.S.A
We never listen to revisionists
Don’t hear a single word
Got our own sense of history
The best you ever heard
Got all the noses to the grindstone
To make a brand new deal
We’re taking everything we need to
We gotta oil the wheel
Hey, hey, get out of our way
We just came from the U.S.A
Hey, hey, get out of our way
We just came from the U.S.A
Cut you open for a nickel
Sew you back up for a dime
For a quarter I can testify someone else did it
Ooh, and for a dollar do it one more time
Hey, hey, get out of our way
We just came from the U.S.A
