Postcards From Richard Nixon |
We heard Richard Nixon say, «Welcome to the USA» |
The common sense I sometimes lack |
Has opened up a seismic crack |
We’ve fallen in and I can’t pull back |
And I guess we’ll have to stay |
In open arms we put our trust they put us on a big red bus |
Twin spirits soaking up a dream |
Fuel to feed the press machine |
After years that were long and lean |
We’re finally on our way |
And Richard Nixon’s on his knees he’s sent so many overseas |
He’d like to know if you and me could help him in some way |
A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do |
A small diversion caused by two |
Pale kids come to play |
And we heard Richard Nixon say, «Welcome to the USA» |
Neither of us understood the way things ticked in Hollywood |
We just loaded in and grabbed the bat |
With little room to swing a cat |
And pretty soon we were «Where it’s at» |
Or so the papers say |
And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we’d never seen |
Our heroes led us by the hand |
Through Brian Wilson’s promised land |
Where Disney’s God and he commands |
Both mice and men to stay |
And Richard Nixon’s on his knees he’s sent so many overseas |
He’d like to know if you and me could help him in some way |
A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do |
A small diversion caused by two |
Pale kids come to play |
And we heard Richard Nixon say, «Welcome to the USA» |
In a bright red Porsche on Sunset I saw Steve McQueen |
I guess he’s just about the coolest guy I’ve ever seen |
And for you and me that speeding car is how it’s going to be |
I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline |
Oh, We heard Richard Nixon say, «Welcome to the USA» |
The common sense I sometimes lack |
Has opened up a seismic crack |
We’ve fallen in and I can’t pull back |
Pale kids come to play |
And we heard Richard Nixon say, «I've gotta go but you can stay» |
Pale kids come to play |
And we heard Richard Nixon say, «I've gotta go but you can stay» |
