I’m Afraid Of Americans (Live at the Kit Kat Klub, New York, 19th November, 1999) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Johnny's in America
Lo-Teks at the wheel
No one needs anyone
They don't even just pretend
Johnny's in America

[Chorus 1]
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans

Johnny's in America

[Verse 2]
Johnny wants a plane
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Johnny's in America
[Chorus 2]
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans

[Instrumental electronics]
Johnny's in America

[Verse 3]
Johnny's in America
Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair and
Johnny wants pussy and cars
Johnny's in America
Johnny's in America

[Chorus 3]
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
Yeah I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans

God is an American
God is an American
God is an American
God is an American
God is an American
God is an American
God is an American

[Chorus 4]
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the worst
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
