Well they look to the east
They look to the west
The Third World wonders
Which way's the best
We got freedom, we got soul
We got blue jeans and rock'n roll
Man, there ain't no choice
It's better in the USA
It's better in the USA
You can be what you want
Say what you wanna say
It's better in the USA
Why can't I make you understand
It's better in the USA
It's better in the USA
I hear the same propaganda
Day after day
It's gettin' so hip to knock the USA
If we're so awful and we're so bad
You oughta check the night life
In Leningrad
Man, it ain't even close
It's better in the USA
It's better in the USA
If you could see behind the curtain
Life is cold and grey
It's better in the USA
How can I make you understand
It's better in the USA
It's better, it's better
I think I'll play
Nobody's perfect and change comes slow
It's really up to you
Which way you wanna go
You can lean to the left
And lean to the right
You can stand in the dark
You can stand in the light
Drivin' on the beach
On a night in June
Me and my baby
In the lover's moon
They're playin' sweet soul music
Got it turned up loud
Make me feel so good
Make me feel so proud
Man, there ain't no choice
It's better in the USA
It's better in the USA
Well they'd be movin' here from Moscow
If they could only find a way
It's better in the USA
How can I make you understand
It's better in the USA, baby baby
It's better
We got the burgers and fries
In the USA
We got the friendly skies
In the USA
We got the beautiful girls
In the USA
Got the beautiful curls
In the USA
We're drivin' beautiful cars
In the USA
We're diggin' movie stars
In the USA
We get to make romance
In the USA
Let the little girl dance
In the USA
It's better, baby
Nice sweater, baby
What do you say you and me go for a little drive
Come on
It's better
