letra de looking for america (in the usa) - max ferguson

Loading...

there was a place they called america; perhaps you’ve heard of it before
yes, i’ve seen it on a map or two, but i can’t find it anymore
we sold it off in pieces, for euros and for yen
on auction blocks in new orleans, where they once sold men

in uniforms of blue, and in uniforms of grey
we were looking for america, in the usa

i met you at mcdonald’s, and we gained a little weight
our handguns in school lunch boxes, made america great
i saw the crossеs burning, on the six o’clock news
they didn’t want thе irish, and they didn’t want the jews

the pilgrims wouldn’t be welcome, if they came here today
if they came looking for america, in the usa

maybe it was just a dream, that we believed
maybe it retired, and then died
maybe it just had its day, and then had to leave
or maybe it was that our parents lied?
maybe it was that our parents lied

we got drunk in the back seats, of stretch white limousines
we tore apart the landscape in, faded levi’s jeans
this sweet land of liberty, is now bitter to the taste
and the purple mountains majesty, has long been lain to waste
we found a brand-new eden, but then threw it all away
but i’m still looking for america, in the usa

this is not a ride in disneyland, and this ain’t hollywood
everything’s made in china, and the jobs are gone for good
we turned the grand canyon, into a shopping mall
and a nation that’s divided, is always bound to fall

then at last i found her; shot down by the nra
it’s too late to find america, in the usa

maybe it was just a myth, that we all bought
maybe that’s a hard one, if it’s true
maybe it was never as good, as we once thought
or maybe it was better than we knew
yeah maybe it was better. maybe it was better
maybe it was better than we knew
