For America Lyrics

Deviate to contemplate
This audio visual opiate
One hundred years from now
Title fights and human rights
We're satellites - you're parasites
Hey yah ya!
Now I've got to tell you
That I've been down
Down so low that I bit the ground
Let's hear it from the heart of America
Ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh
Ya da dee yeh - yeh ee ah
Ya da dee yeh ah
In Americ-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-eh!
Urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei USA
For America

Where's the peace and understanding?
Go drum go dance sound on sound
All this peace and understanding
Go drum go dance round and round
In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah

A pocket full of posies
And cheap scented roses
Every house should have it's hat on
So in and out and round and round
Up and down and lost and found
Hey ah ha!
Magazines and gasoline
And made-in-Taiwan western scenes
Will you hear us in the heart of America?
Ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh
Ya da dee yeh - yeh ee ah
Ya da dee yeh ah
In Americ-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-eh!
Urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei-urelei USA
For America

Where's the peace and understanding?
Go drum go dance sound on sound
All this peace and understanding
Go drum go dance round and round
In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah

Na na ne na ne na na
All this peace and understanding

Where's the peace and understanding?
Go drum go dance sound on sound
All this peace and understanding
Go drum go dance round and round
In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah

All this peace and understanding
