Lyrics
Only In 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.
A preacher's thumping his bible
And praying on the suicidal.
He'll lead us all to salvation
For a small remuneration.
So touch your screen
And become clean
And you'll own everything you've ever dreamed.
Can you feel the pulse of America?
There is nowhere else like America.
See it for yourself in America.
You could only be in America.
Only in America.
A young man crosses the border
He's searching for the New World Order
He ended up in a sweatshop
Prosperity would be his next stop.
But 12-hour days on
Minimum wage
Have made him nothing but a new world slave.
