Living in America - Andy Lloyd

Do you ever read your daily papers?
News and views of famous faces
Waiting at the airport for a very special guest star, 
Flying in straight from America
Wel'll take them all, known or unknown
We put them on the T.V., the press and radio

(Chorus:)
Living in America
I'm almost Living in America
It's so boring
Living in America
It's just like Living in America
I can't stand it here no more

Everybody sing with American accent
Everybody into American dancing,
All wanting to be like their American hero
Fighting on the streets of San Francisco,
But I don't want my mind subjected
To any cheap yankee detective

(Chorus)

They got the money, they got the power
They can buy your finest hour
Then they'll squeeze out every penny
We just give we don't get any
All we ever get's bionic men
Blinding teeth and perfect hair
Poncing about on my T.V. screen
They got no cause, they got no meaning
But, I don't want to hear American culture
The Watergate tapes or your President Carter
Whatever happened to Englands glory?
A box of matches and a history story
If Jesus Christ was here today
He'd look down on our world,
And you'd hear him say

(Chorus)
