America Songtext

America Songtext
It′s great to be here in the city of Chicago in the state of Illinois
In the United States of America. I love America, man. America is home
To the fattest people on Earth. Land of the free, home of the brave
No, land of the lakes, home of the Whopper. We even have fat poor
People. If being fat and poor were an Olympic sport, we would take
Home the gold medal every four fucking years. Two if it were a winter
Event. Because we even have fat homeless people. I realized that the
Other day, I'm walking through a park and I actually see a homeless
Man feeding stale bread crusts to the birds. Just a little too stale
For his liking. That′s when it occurs to me that there really is
Nobody starving in this country. And I know, I know, there are people
Who are hungry and there are people that will eat things they'd
Rather not have to eat. But there's nobody starving. If there was
You would not see a homeless man feeding bread to the birds. You
Wouldn′t see birds. In Cuba right now, there′s no such thing as a
Stray animal. I doubt there's many pets left. They can′t even keep
Cubans in Cuba. That's why the Coast Guard has to drag shrimp nets
Around the coast of Florida every morning, scoop them all up so we
Can send them back. They won′t even let Cubans spend more than an
Hour on the beach in Cuba. You let a Cuban spend more than 60
Minutes on that beach staring out at that ocean, he starts going
"Oh, I can make that. Just need something that floats. Juanita
Hand me that beer case over there. Get your mother, we're going to
America." You think I′m exaggerating? Couple months back, a dozen
Cubans tried to get to Florida in a '59 Buick. They almost fucking
Made it! They were about three miles off shore when the Coast Guard
Spotted them, you know, pretty obvious. A dozen Cubans in a '
59 Buick in the middle of the ocean. Had it been an Oldsmobile
They might have slipped under the radar. But you can′t really blame
Them, I mean, we′re so wealthy over here and they're so poor over
There that they′re astounded by our wealth. They're like, "You mean
In America, you have boulevards and parks just full of fucking
Pigeons? And nobody even wants them there? And they′re like so tame
They'll eat right out of your hand even if you got a big fucking
Stick in the other?" Pollo every
Night in America. Am I going too far?
