LOVE TO AMERICA

Well, Lady Liberty she got a party tonight
Landing lights on the tarmac
Pilgrims airplane look so bright
She started out that way - out that way
She doesn't know it but she's gonna get to blow it
Oh, Poppa Cosby - sitcom blahs
You got the Cisco Kid
Low riding round the corner with a platinum blond
Malcolm X hat on
Drag 'em outta the truck - he doesn't know where ...
He wakes up next century in Florida
Everybody's a hundred - everybody's on medicare
Wow wow baby's down in Texas now
She's covered up in oil and she's cutting up a cow
Says, "Oh how I long for those New York streets."
Soul food soul long
Better hip hop to the uzi song
Bang bang baby - back in L.A.
Everybody's screaming there's gotta be a better way
While pelican mouth politicians preach
Cancer's lying naked on the beach
Pornographic paradise capped white teeth
Xanadu and Shangri La just out of reach
When I feel that way

Take out my pen to say
I'm gonna write this letter
All I got to say is
Love to America ...

On a carphone in Milwaukee like a heartland walkie talkie
Took a fax from Tennessee where they took all responsibility
That country music come back so strong so swift
With a rock'n roll kick'n kiss
But you don't know what you did miss
When the king was on his throne so young so tough
Can you gimme some more of that gothic southern stuff
But it gets rough
As he turns to dust
And all the fuss
Moved to the post office

Love to America ...

I turn on the television I'm watching CNN
I got the news coming out of every other end
I'm living in the future with no past as the camera turns
To the screams and the tears of the market fears
As the buildings start to burn
I got a digital life
With a turbo wife
Like a serial killer
Gonna stick her with a knife
Oh, sorry, I just got carried away
This violence and the media
Surrounding me, hounding me
Don't know it - don't know it
I think everybody should do
What they wanna do
Just don't do it to me and I won't do it to you

Love to America ...
Love to America ...
