I’m Afraid of Americans (Live, Glastonbury, 2000) Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
What a wonderful evening, please be safe
I really mean it, we really love you a lot
We really do
[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]
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
What a wonderful evening, please be safe
I really mean it, we really love you a lot
We really do
[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]
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]
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
[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]
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
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 looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair
And Johnny wants pussy and cars
Johnny's in America
Johnny's in America
