Before America; (Newsreel Avenue)

Here's a memory
From the old modern times
A newsreel before the handshake
And before the film starts

A Newsreel Spectacular
Of the Inaugural Parade
The Band is marching in
From the U.S.A

And we're Almost in U.S.
Almost in the U.S
Almost in the U.S
It's a nice part of town

Georgia man is waving
From Newsreel avenue
He's bringing the peanuts
To a dark theater near you

These winds blow quietly
Bring good seeds with the dust
Not with speed, but an easy smile
To almost in the U.S. to us

To almost in to Us.
And to US
To almost in the U.S
And to us

Recently the world
Has begun to spin
We're almost in the U.S
Where it's legal to sin

With his Southern Baptist holy water
The reverend will bless us
He's a farmer of hope and of peanuts
We're almost in the U.s

Almost in the U.S
Almost in the U.s
Almost in the U.s
It was a fine neighborhood

Fresh faith in the old drama
Time for change, "Change we need change!"
Always swaying from change to change
Each infused with new hope,

Injected with new rage
Till the hassles grow old & tired
And we reject this change
For another, brand new, better one

Jimmy, too, was "a leader for a change"
Before change gave way
& crisis of confidence arrived
And we insisted on trading him in

For still more change
And pulled the plug
Pulled the rug
That's when those politics died

But today the dust blows seeds
And it will carry the day
In a newsreel spectacular
Of the inaugural parade

And we sit and watch in peace
From Almost in the U.S
We're coming soon Jimmy
Are you waving to us?

We're coming soon Jimmy
Are you waving to us?

We're coming soon Jimmy
