GOD BLAME AMERICA!!

America/Miss America is over paid, over fed, over stuffed and now over here!

America/poets dont fasten their flies no more

America/ shoes can not be worn out on fingers

America/Germany is just as strong as America under arms

America/Mickey the Mouse is colored

America/whiskey contains cigarette cancer

America/I lick stamps on the wrong side

America/ nine to five aint forever, is it?

America/your fliptop box is showing

America/your women sound like sex starved Donald Ducks

America/the electric chair is too comfortable for your officials

America/I do not want to be integrated into you

America/I continue eating watermelons on TV for a fee

America/Why do I scare thee when I attempt to live free?

America/hot dogs cant be hamburgers much longer

America/Jazz has won the youth of the world

America/rhinoceroses are lonely in the zoos

America/the ghosts of Indians haunt your family nightly?

America/many of them aint really ready, are they?

America/Kosher cats closed my contract to you

America/ screaming is still valid

America/I do believe you're afraid

America/Munchen maids dance black

America/I sing Round Bout Midnight

America/Your eyes are nervous

America/your handshake's a fake

America/your mask has slipped America/your whites arent hip

America/their blues aint sad

America/your image is bad

America/surrender to the East! Forget the West! Go it

alone, that's best!

America can you hear me? America, did you hear what

I said? America??

(a voice) FUCK YOU!

America/MAY I?
