America Songtext
von Tim Young
America Songtext
I live in America, you know where that is? It′s that way. America
Haters. I was just in the Midwest, it was a very conservative part
Of America. A lotta Jesus in America, you guys have Jesus up here?
Did he visit yet? Very conservative down there. I met these girls
They had purity rings on. You know, do you have that up here? It's
A purity ring, you ever heard of it? That′s where they put a ring
On their wedding finger, these teenage girls, and then they can
Promise to Jesus and their parents that until they get married they
Will only have anal sex. We have cool stuff in America, uh, like Uh, racism, you guys have it yet? Are there any black folks in the
Room or in this country? Oh hi, how are ya? We got a black president
That's fun. He's half black but he looks all the way black, that′s
Good enough to freak a racist out. I grew up in the South, border
Of the South, really. My parents are, like, mildly racist. Very
Homophobic. Kinda wish I was gay so I could bring a black guy
Home for Christmas. That would really liven up the holiday at my
House. I got a surprise for you, Mom and Dad. It′s a double whammy
