[Verse 1]
America made me
Of brick and coal and rubber
America made me
A camp and cold little kickabout
And look at me now
Aluminum paved me
I was primped and poised and shit out
Antediluvian lady
You won’t get far in a knockabout
With your keel in the ground
[Chorus]
America made me
America saved me from myself
And all these wishers-well
America parade me
I dare you to lull me to my knees
And give me something sweet
Maybe something that will get me back to sleep
[Verse 2]
They told me to line up
They said, keep your mind out of the gutter
Or it’s likely you’ll wind up
In some dark hole all a-mutter about
All the ways you’ve been wronged
America made me
Of brick and coal and rubber
America made me
A camp and cold little kickabout
And look at me now
Aluminum paved me
I was primped and poised and shit out
Antediluvian lady
You won’t get far in a knockabout
With your keel in the ground
[Chorus]
America made me
America saved me from myself
And all these wishers-well
America parade me
I dare you to lull me to my knees
And give me something sweet
Maybe something that will get me back to sleep
[Verse 2]
They told me to line up
They said, keep your mind out of the gutter
Or it’s likely you’ll wind up
In some dark hole all a-mutter about
All the ways you’ve been wronged
