It's not with any glee that we see the American empire crumble. It has given us some of the most fun and freedoms and stuff. The world became intelligent, and simultaneously, very dumb, dulled and distracted.
This song, despite the words, is a folky, upbeat melody. The words though ring true, and one can't help feeling a sense of the parting being sweetly sorrowful...
For America (Red Box)
deviate to contemplate
this audio visual opiate
one hundred years from now
title fights and human rights
we're satellites - you're parasites
hey yah ya!
now I've got to tell you
that I've been down
down so low that I bit the ground
let's hear it from the heart of America
ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh
in America
urelei USA
for America
where's the peace and understanding?
go drum go dance sound on sound
all this peace and understanding
go drum go dance round and round
in America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah
a pocket full of posies
and cheap scented roses
every house should have it's hat on
so in and out and round and round,
up and down and lost and found
hey ah ha!
magazines and gasoline
and made-in-Taiwan western scenes
will you hear us in the heart of America?
ya da dee yeh - yeh ee oh
in America
urelei USA
for America
where's the peace and understanding?
go drum go dance sound on sound
all this peace and understanding
go drum go dance round and round
in America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah
na na ne na ne na na
all this peace and understanding
where's the peace and understanding?
go drum go dance sound on sound
all this peace and understanding
go drum go dance round and round
in America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah
all this peace and understanding
