Lyrics
Another young boy from the "third world"; No place to go, but up; Another runner from the "third world"; No place to go, it's tough; Another seeker of good fortune; Beyond his fathers - higher class; Another pilgrim to the new world; All eyes upon the West; No one will ever put me down; I've got my pride, I stay my ground; Yes, I can turn my world around 'round 'round... He'd always heard this was the "third world", Nothing to show... not too much; Thank God he'd learned this was the "third world"; To live in this way... all face lost; No one will ever put me down; I've got my pride, I stay my ground; Yes, I can turn my world around 'round 'round; I watch their movies, sing their songs; And I have changed my native tongue; I'm gonna show them who I am am am; See, I can live American! They're all gonna know my name! To my family I'm no shame! I've got to show them who I am! am! am! Forget the ancient - gold days; No more tradition - backward ways; I'm gonna show them who I am am am; Yes, I can be American...
