We heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA
The common sense I
sometimes lack
Has opened up a seismic crack
We've fallen in and
I can't pull back
And I guess
we'll have to stay
In open arms we put our trust
they put us on a big red bus
Twin spirits soaking up a dream
Fuel to feed the press machine
After years
that were long and lean
We're finally on our way
And Richard Nixon's
on his knees
he's sent so many overseas
He'd like to know if
you and me
could help him in some way
A little camouflage and glue
to mask the evil that men do
A small diversion
caused by two
pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA
Neither of us
understood the way
things ticked in Hollywood
We just loaded in and
grabbed the bat
With little room to
swing a cat
And pretty soon
we were where it's at
Or so the papers say
And all around us
suntanned teens
beauty like we'd never seen
Our heroes led us
by the hand
Through Brian Wilson's
promised land
Where Disney's God and
he commands
Both mice and men to stay
And Richard Nixon's
on his knees
he's sent so many overseas
He'd like to know if
you and me
could help him in some way
A little camouflage and glue
to mask the evil that men do
A small diversion
caused by two
pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA
In a bright red Porsche on
Sunset I saw Steve McQueen
I guess he's just about
the coolest guy
I've ever seen
And for you and me that
speeding car
is how it's going to be
I see no brakes just open road
and lots of gasoline
Oh we heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA
The common sense I
sometimes lack
Has opened up a
seismic crack
We've fallen in and I can't
pull back
Pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
I've gotta go but you can stay
Pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
I've gotta go but you can stay
