Ezra Furman
In America
[Verse 1]
We were born in America
Twenty years in a torn up America
And it's not so terrible in America

[Verse 2]
And if you go to the movies
Don’t believe what they show at the movies
The whole world's in 3D, it's incredible

[Bridge]
If you pay me the ransom
I will write you a national anthem
Against the wall with your hands up
Don’t try anything funny

[Verse 3]
Mexican on your dad's side
Every town has a good and a bad side
And you were born on the sad side of America

[Verse 4]
And I don't have to defend it
I don't give a shit what Ben Franklin intended
What some slave owner men said
Well, they're all dead
[Verse 5]
But there's too many rock songs
Put it all in a two minute pop song
A really mean it a lot song for America

[Verse 6]
I'm alone in America
I wanna go back home in America
Clean me out like an enema
Miss America

[Verse 7]
We were born for America
For the highways and court of America
How you're not even dead yet
When they bury ya
