America Lyrics - The Essential Stephen Sondheim - Stephen Sondheim

Hey Hey What do you say 

I come from a place called the US 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 

Worshipped 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 

SUV's, 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 

SUV's, 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 okay 

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 

SUV's, 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 Hurricane 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
