	Lyrics AMERICA See the fat man as he gets into his car It’s a half-mile walk but that’s half-a-mile too far Nothing else matters – he’s got to have his kicks Burning up the freeway on Route 66 He hasn’t heard of small and he hasn’t heard of clean Fifteen miles a gallon in his autogeddon dream Twenty bucks a tankful – he doesn’t care because He won’t be around to meet the final cost STUPID – WASTEFUL – BLINKERED – BLOATED SELFISH – WANTON – NEEDLESS – MELTDOWN Insist on what you want It doesn’t matter how The politics of greed Are all you’ll ever know America Land of the free Protector of humanity? – I don’t think so America Figurehead of greed Protector of her selfish needs Pop into a drive-in he’s a little peckish now Satisfy his hunger with a hormone pumped-up cow Cut down all the forests just to graze their herds They’re never going to stop until they’ve got scorched earth The poor countries see them – they’ve got dollar signs for eyes Then the corporates snap their land up for a rock-bottom price The labour’s always cheap so they pay the lowest rate Excuse their exploitation in the name of free trade Smokestack lightning blues On the road to hell Hard rain’s going to fall Falling down on you and me
