Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
In search of the good life the pilgrims set sail
And all through the new land they blazed a brave trail
The iron horse speeding down freshly laid trail
Brought settlers determined to prosper
From the four corners they made it their home
The Iti’s, the Germans, the Paddies and Poles
Going down in the dirt, coming up with the gold
Like Bill Fuller, the Kennedy’s and the Corleones
Chorus:
Life is so good in the U.S. of A, live out your dreams in Americay
If you’ve got the guts and the bucks it is said
Every man is a king in the U.S. of a
Every man is a king in Americay
And the pilgrims these days they are called astronauts
They seek new battlefields on the moon and beyond
To wage their star wars in the sky by and by
And to shit on us all from on high
And when it’s all over and the world is no more
When the White House and the Kremlin have settled the score
The stars and stripes flag will fly high over space
That’s why we all love the United States
In the land of Republican automatons
Uncle Sam’s forces show gung ho and bronze
Just awaiting their orders from Washington
To fight for your peace and your freedom
Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador
How foolish of you not to open your door
To Hershey’s, Budweiser, McDonald’s and more
This wonderful life could be yours
Chorus
