America Number One Lyrics

****

Don't let them, deceive you with the legitimization of their myth
A myth they like to call, in the media, in politics, and in entertainment, especially f*****' rock and roll
America Number One

There is no America, there is no democracy
There is only, IBM and ITT, and AT&T, and Dupont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon

(America Number One, ...)
(We're number one, ...)

America Number One is a lie
A propaganda tool injected into the psyche of the Superamerican
...to legitimize over a hundred years of fear and depression... and coercive intervention

This is Consolidated ... appealing to the youth of America
... to question the authority of its parents, its educators, its government, and, its mass media

(America Number One, ...)
We, the generation of technological specialists, corporate opportunistic c**ture industry manipulators have failed you immensely...
failed to ...
... when America is distrusted by the world powers and hated by the developing nations alike

... failed to, because we've left you with no vision of a world community and no education to develop such a sense

This is Consolidated, calling for the youth of America to unite with the youth of the countries of Asia, Africa, Europe and South America, and (so form the strongest international front to defend the future of world peace

(God-Bless-America)

Your religious leaders and rock stars have lied to you repeatedly
(Don't believe the hype!)
(God-Bless-America)
There is no America, there is no Democracy
there is only, IBM and ITT, and AT&T, and Dupont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon

(number-one...don't believe the hype!)

(We're number one, ...)
(America Number One, ...)

(that's a bit of nonsense, man...)

(We're number one, ...)
(America Number One, ...)
