lyrics

America, you’re the best reality show.
When you’ll end, well no one quite knows, but we enjoy watching.

Film stars and fast cars and the NRA,
politicians who are secretly gay.
Clear skin and clear skies and equality too,
unless the majority doesn’t like you.

America, you’re an inspirational force
with your paradoxical laws and world-stage agenda.

Lip-syncing teenagers prancing on stage,
straight people only on St Patrick’s day.
Religion in politics and science class.
Evolution? Oh please don’t make us laugh!

America, we all sleep soundly at night
knowing you will fight the good fight in the name of justice.

Implants and touch-ups and liposuction,
mayors who in secret love cocaine’s seduction
and children with rifles and old men with bibles
and forgotten hair-metal world tour revivals.

America, well one day you’re gonna explode.
China will call in for what’s owed and you will go bankrupt.

Crazy liberals with their “global warming”
when four men on horseback are the real warning.
And only the rich can afford to get sick,
everyone else is just deep in the shit.

America, you’re the best reality show.
When you’ll end, well no one quite knows, but we enjoy watching.
America, you’re the best reality show
and we will miss you when you go off the air.
