SONG LISTING

For America

deviate to contemplate this audio visual opiate 
one hundred years from now 
title fights and human rights - we're satellites - you're parasites 
hey yah ya! 
now I've got to tell you that I've been down 
down so low that I bit the ground 
let's hear it from the heart of America 

ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh 
in America urelei USA 
for America 

where's the peace and understanding? 
go drum go dance sound on sound 
all this peace and understanding 
go drum go dance round and round 
in America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah 

a pocket full of posies and cheap scented roses 
every house should have it's hat on 
so in and out and round and round, up and down and lost and found 
hey ah ha! 

magazines and gasoline and made-in-Taiwan western scenes 
will you hear us in the heart of America? 
ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh 
in America urelei USA 

for America 
na na ne na ne na na 
all this peace and understanding
