Lyrics
Scared of America
I'm scared of America
That Alpha Male
I'm scared of America
With that sting in it's tail
I stepped on a compass
And found myself here
On a bus in Vegas
An American nightmare
I'm scared of America
It's too big for me
I'm scared of America
Trapped in the 'Land of The Free'
Corruption on Capitol Hill
Discrimination way down south
So many are ready to kill
You'd better not open your mouth
I'm scared of America
Moma's got a gun
I'm scared of America
And so has her son
Jesus was American
So Hollywood maintains
Maybe he was Mexican
That sneaked in on the train
Follow the American Dream
Do the John Wayne walk
Gotta have plenty of Greens
Coz here money talks, money talks, money talks
I'm scared of America
I know you couldn't care less
Where would we be without you
America, God bless, America
Paul Robert Thomas
