Everyman Is a King |
In search of a good life the Pilgrims set sail |
Then all through the new land they blazed their brave trails |
The iron horse speeding down freshly-laid rails |
Brought settlers determined to prosper |
From the far corners they made it their home |
The ities and germans, the paddies the poles |
Goin' down in the dirt comin' up with the gold |
Like Bill Fuller, the Kennedys and Corleones |
Life is so good in the US of A |
Live out you dreams in Amerikay |
If you’ve gut the guts and the bucks, it is said |
Every man is a king in the US of A |
Every man is a king in Amerikay |
The pilgrims these days they are called astronauts |
They seek new battlefields on the moon and beyond |
To wage their star wars in the sky by-and-by |
And to shit on us all from on high |
Then when it’s all over and the world is no more |
When the White House and Kremlin have settled their score |
The stars and stripes flag will fly high, proud out there in space |
And that’s why we all love the United States |
In the land of Republican automatons |
Uncle Sam’s forces so gung-ho and bronzed |
Just waiting their orders from Washington |
To fight for your peace and your freedom |
Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador |
How foolish of you not to open your doors |
To the Hersheys, Budweisers, McDonalds and more… |
This wonderful life could be yours |
