Lyrics

America Town

I know I should be happy in your land

It's not all that wild to be me

Not that I want to be any other where

I know it's hell out there

Here in the borders of America Town

All of the dollies are spinning round and round and round

Hail to the chief

Let's just drag them all down

There's got to be a hero somewhere

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Used to get annoyed at the fire and the flag

Now it just seems old to me

Everyone is old to me

And I know, I know we'd kick your ass

But first I'll take a nap tonight

And know someone's looking over me

Here in the borders of America Town

All of the dollies are spinning round and round and round

Hail to the chief

Let's just drag them all down

There's got to be hero somewhere

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I tried it, I tried it

I've seen it and I bought it all

I tried it, I tried it

I've seen it and I bought it all

Yeah yeah yeah

Ooh, yeah yeah yeah

Not that I'm upset

I can still make my bet

On the basketball game

And I got my-my spare change

I'm even o.k. with the hoodlums on the hill

They're in my will

Like her and you

Whom and who

In America Town

We all spin around

In America Town

I'm really not down

We all spin around

In America Town

America Town

America Town, yeah

Here we go, here we go

In America Town

We all spin around

In America Town

Yeah yeah yeah
