Lyrics

I Miss America

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I think I rather be in New York City

Where at least the cabbies notice you

(Even if it’s only half the time)

I think I rather be in California

Where no one notices anyone

(It’s OK since it’s the norm)

But I miss America

I think I’d rather be in Delhi, India

Maybe I’d look good in a saari

(And the people seem so nice)

I think I’d be Australia

I’d just wear lots of sun-creen

(No ozone? Hey, at least it’s peaceful, but)

I miss America

(I watch the news and think it’s missing me)

I miss America

(I only get what’s ss seen on TV)

I miss America

I miss America

I think I’d rather be in Pensacola

Even in the Florida hurricanes

(You’re safe with the Presbyterians there)

I think I’d rather be in Ponca City

Oklahoma is OK!

(Besides, I know someone from there)

I think I’d rather be in Venice,Italy

They’re cleaning the canals there

(Even though they’re sinking in the lagoon)

I think I’d rather be in South Africa

Maybe join the Green Peace

(And meet Nelson Mandela, but)

I miss America

(I watch the news and think it’s missing me)

I miss America

(I only get what’s As seen on TV)

I miss America

I miss America

I look around and I watch the sun go down

Over Wolfsburg

And still I can’t find one good thing

About Wolfsburg

I miss America

I miss America

(I think I’d rather be in NYC)

I miss America

(I think I’d rather be in CA)

I miss America

(Or, FL, even Flint, MI, Paula,s Bethlehem)

I miss America

(Anywhere but here)

I miss America

I miss America

I miss America
