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 can survive the rat race honey
Time is money and money is honey, honey
My megabucks your symmetrical beauty
Together we can serve the nation, yeah!
The quality of life filled us all with pride
America
And as I watched I just cried and cried
How I love America
I will buy you rich perfumes
And we will eat the finest foods
A mansion in New England
A silver dollar for every child
Where everybody has got their price
They'll sustain our way of life
You and I will fly to Rio
I'll make you feel like a millionaire
I can survive the rat race honey
Time is money and money is honey, honey
My megabucks your symmetrical beauty
Together we can serve the nation, yeah!
The quality of life filled us all with pride
America
And as I watched I just cried and cried
How I love America
West is best and might is right
And with our allies, fight the good fight
A first class, five-star enterprise
Now everybody's got to compromise
My moral code's on overload
Liberty still takes its toll
Take a look at the losers wasting in the bars
Where they cut their losses!
I can survive the rat race honey
Time is money, and money is honey, honey
My megabucks your symmetrical beauty
Together we can serve the nation, yeah!
The quality of life filled us all with pride
America
And as I watched I just cried and cried
How I love America
There were fireworks in the Gulf
There was champagne at home
How I love America
But showbiz and Hollywood still shouted out
America
