America! – Bill Callahan

America!
America!
America!
America!
You are so grand and golden
Oh I wish I was deep in America tonight
America!
America!
I watch David Letterman in Australia
America!
You are so grand and golden
I wish I was on the next flight
To America!

Captain Kristofferson!
Buck Sergeant Newbury!
Leatherneck Jones!
Sergeant Cash!
What a Navy!
What an Army!
What an Air Force!
What a Marines!
America!
I never served my country
America!

Afghanistan!
Vietnam!
Iran!
Native Americon!
America!
Everyone’s allowed a past they don’t care to mention
America!

Well it’s hard to rouse a hog in delta
And it can get tense around the bible belt
America!
The lucky suckle teat others chaw pig knuckle meat
Ain’t enough teat
Ain’t enough t’eat
In America!
