Lyrics

I'm in the loony bin
 The dead fish, the air-conditioning
 I got a ticket for your grande finale
 It's a 130 in Death Valley
 I've been lost and double-crossed (double-crossed)
 Chased down, stabbed in the bloody frost
 I'm a lost child on your evening news (evening news)
 You're a queen in a castle of sugar cubes
 America
 America
 I've seen your guillotine (guillotine)
 A fat boy adrift in a limousine (limousine)
 Through the land of the lost Cherokee (Cherokee)
 Down the rivers of red majesty
 And I've seen your pastures of green (not a green)
 The crack whores, the wars on the silver screen (silver screen)
 Hiroshima and the lynching tree (lynching tree)
 It's a wonder my eyes still can see
 America
 America
 You give me nightmares
 Did you kill your son Joe Hill?
 The night nurse, she read me his final will
 I thought of running off, but where would I go?
 I wouldn't make it beyond Buffalo
 I'd miss your cowgirl kiss (cowgirl kiss)
 The red fangs, the lips, the avarice (avarice)
 It's getting high time for your grande finale (grande finale)
 It's a 130 in Death Valley
 America
 America
 You give me dreams to dream
 Pop-corn memories in love
