Lyrics America (from "West Side Story") - Rita Moreno, John Green, John Green Chorus & Orchestra

America (from "West Side Story")

Walkin' to 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»
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’s doing well
The Osbournes and Anna Nicole are too freaky to 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
We are living in America
We are giving in America
We’re tripping in America
We are trying in America
We’re spying in America
We’re getting high in America
We are gettin' tan in America
We love Spam in America
Polanski’s banned from America
10 million served in America
Have you heard in America?
We’re crying in America
We’re laughing in America
We’re living in America
