American David Songtext
von Bono

Elvis, white trash
Elvis, the Memphis flash
Elvis under the hood
Elvis with Cadillac blood
Elvis, darling bird
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud


Elvis, he didn′t hear the shot
But Dr. King died just across the lot
From Elvis, the Memphis spleen
Shootin' TVs, reading Corinthians 13

Elvis with God on his knee
Elvis owned three TVs
Elvis, he sang to win
Elvis, the battle hymn
Elvis changed the center of gravity
Elvis made it slippery
Elvis ate America before America ate him
