I am the ugly American

I hate what I am

I am the ugly American

I hate what I am

I take a picture of your founding father

I hate a picture of your local color

I take a picture of your founding father

I take a picture of your local color

We're so ugly, we're so ugly

We're so ugly

I am the ugly American

I am the ugly American

I am the ugly American

I hate what you are

Take a picture of your declasse

Take a picture and you only say

Take a picture of your ugly country

Take a picture and you only say

I am the ugly American

I am the ugly American

I am the ugly American

I hate what you are

Take a picture of your declasse

Take a picture of your declasse

Take a picture and you only say

Take a picture and you only say

We're so ugly, we're so ugly

We're so ugly

I am the ugly American

I know what I am

I am the ugly American

I am what I am

Say you're cultured 'cause you had a king?

Your little boys sleep with their sisters

I am the ugly American

I know what I am

I am the ugly American

I love what I am
