In the USA
Defective products everywhere
I stepped on one while walking
Across the grass that grows like hair
Where lovers were sitting talking
About the money they would make
Selling defective products
It caught my shoe and jammed
Damned and defectively made
A curse upon the land
Damned in the USA
Anyway it wasn't a snake
Or a squirrel or a pair of ducks mating
It was an escalator coming up
Out of the ground from Hell
Like the old dumb-waiter in the haunted house
Around the riverbend
It caught my shoe and jammed
Damned and defectively made
A curse upon the land
Damned in the USA
Like the old dumb waiter that used to be
Run up and down in the old days
Until the Yankees came and we
Each dug a few graves
For the bodies that belonged to
The souls that returned to
Hades after the war
Hades after the war
It caught my shoe and jammed
Damned and defectively made
A curse upon the land
Damned in the USA
A curse upon our land
Damned in the USA
I stepped on one while walking
Across the grass that grows like hair
Where lovers were sitting talking
About the money they would make
Selling defective products
It caught my shoe and jammed
Damned and defectively made
A curse upon the land
Damned in the USA
Anyway it wasn't a snake
Or a squirrel or a pair of ducks mating
It was an escalator coming up
Out of the ground from Hell
Like the old dumb-waiter in the haunted house
Around the riverbend
It caught my shoe and jammed
Damned and defectively made
A curse upon the land
Damned in the USA
Like the old dumb waiter that used to be
Run up and down in the old days
Until the Yankees came and we
Each dug a few graves
For the bodies that belonged to
The souls that returned to
Hades after the war
Hades after the war
It caught my shoe and jammed
Damned and defectively made
A curse upon the land
Damned in the USA
A curse upon our land
Damned in the USA
