America Is Not the World
America, your head's too big
Because, America
Your belly's too big
And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you belong
In America
The land of the free, they said
And of opportunity
In a just and a truthful way
But where the President
Is never black, female or gay
And until that day
You've got nothing to say to me
To help me believe
Oh, in America
It brought you the hamburger
Well, America, you know where
You can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder
Why in Estonia they say
"Hey you, big fat pig
You fat pig, you fat pig"
Steely-blue eyes with no love in them
Scan the world
And a humourless smile
With no warmth within
Greets the world
And I, I have got nothing
To offer you
No, no-no-no-no
Just this heart deep and true
Which you say you don't need
See with your eyes
Touch with your hands, please
Hear through your ears
Know in your soul, please
For haven't you me with you now?
And I love you, I love you, I love you
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Because, America
Your belly's too big
And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you belong
In America
The land of the free, they said
And of opportunity
In a just and a truthful way
But where the President
Is never black, female or gay
And until that day
You've got nothing to say to me
To help me believe
Oh, in America
It brought you the hamburger
Well, America, you know where
You can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder
Why in Estonia they say
"Hey you, big fat pig
You fat pig, you fat pig"
Steely-blue eyes with no love in them
Scan the world
And a humourless smile
With no warmth within
Greets the world
And I, I have got nothing
To offer you
No, no-no-no-no
Just this heart deep and true
Which you say you don't need
See with your eyes
Touch with your hands, please
Hear through your ears
Know in your soul, please
For haven't you me with you now?
And I love you, I love you, I love you
And I love you, I love you, I love you
