Proud To Be An American
|
|
(Spooner)
|
|
I'm proud
|
to be an American
|
I'm proud
|
of the groovy things we've done
|
There's television, free religion, Rock 'n' roll, Standard Oil,
|
Times Square, Jimmy Darren, Corey Wells, and Smokey Bear,
|
price reduction, reconstruction, Peace Corps, and lots more
|
Culture that we got to lend
|
|
I'm proud
|
to be an American
|
And I'm proud
|
Had a great time bein' one
|
There's your school and my school and both of us in high school,
|
surfboards, cigarettes, homework, Southern Comfort
|
Boy's dean was real mean,
|
Made us keep our locker's clean
|
Failed nearly every class
|
Ditchin' was a gas
|
|
I'm proud
|
to be a young American
|
I'm proud, just think about it
|
All the far out things that we've begun
|
There's revolution, constitution, land, sea, and air pollution,
|
cold wars, hot wars, gas wars, and confrontutions,
|
constipation, consternation, open hearted palpatations
|
Muscular Dystrophy
|
|
I'm proud to be an American
|
Because we got department stores
|
full of cheap guitars
|
But when Sputnik plays 'em, you just go go go go
|
|
I'm proud to be an American--we got two chickens in every garage
|
And I wish every other kid could be one--in my country,
|
the medium is the massage
|
'Cause it's impossible to give
|
Equality and justice to inferior foreigners
|
too jealous to trust us
|
|
Gimme your weak and your homeless
|
How 'bout checkin' the oil ah, fella?
|
|
I'm proud to be an American
