Beautiful America
The man on the television said I
need to drink this, and sleep with
that, in order to be cool. And
you know that I would do almost
anything, to be like that guy on
TV. I know that if I had just the
right outfit and a hairstyle that
could be me. Don't you know
you can't be cool if you dress
dumb, I need to have that 'cause
everybody's got one. I think I'll
start smoking, that would make
me intellectual, that's what I've
always wanted to be. I need to
lift weights, that would make me
more sexual, and that would be
good for me.
In America it's wonderful, all
you have to do is fake it. Own
anything you want, all you
have to do is take it. Live for
today, don't think about
tomorrow, have a good time in
America-Gomorrah.
What are you looking at, you
better not make me mad. I'll drive
by your house and shoot your
dog, and mom, and dad. I don't
need you or the Bible or anything
to tell me what is the law. With a
good enough lawyer I can do
anything in Beautiful America.
I want to be in America, Okay
for me in America,
everything's free in America,
for a small fee in America.

Amy's Comments: OH my goodness, i love this song soooo much! haha I played this once with this person I didnt really know too well in the car.... (No I didnt pick some odd person up off the street ok!?!!? i was driving them to something! they needed a ride!) and I felt kinda weird, because it sounds bad, but Five Iron really means the opposite of what they're saying!! Haha, i dunno, i thought that was funny.
Ryan's comments: Probably my favorite song on the album. The songs about how in america you dont need God or anything in your lives, you live it the way you want, and if you do something wrong, you blame it on someone else. If you do that, I keel you....then...blame...you. Plus the ending is like annie or something! Whats not to like!?
