Buy American
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.
This I know, I've got a lot to learn
But could you spare me a match
I've got a bridge to burn
And if you could, there might be a little somethin' in it for you
And I won't mind if you lag behind
I'd like your company with my axe to grind
We'll take LSD
And talk about conspiracy too
Well stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
hmm-hmm-hmm
So you say I've got a lot to learn
Well that's fine with me, still got that bridge to burn
And if you, come along there's a little something in it for you
And I hope you don't mind if I lag behind you
You'd like my company with your axe to grind
We'll eat MSG and talk about Chinese food
Stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
Yeah, buy American
Buy American
Buy American
Buy, buy, buy...
We'll stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you by American
Yeah - We'll stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
Buy American
Buy American
Buy...
Buy, buy, buy...
