(ian hunter)
I packed my bags - in the land of rags
抍os I don抰 believe in them dimmo drags
Don抰 wanna vote for the left wing - don抰 wanna vote for the right
I gotta have both-to make me fly
Just a whitey from blighty - heading out west
Got my little green card 抧 my bulletproof vest
Goin� to old tube city - where the buzz is the best
On down the line (down the line) down the line (down the line)
Well I was born (on the line) 抧 I was raised (on the line)
I was schooled (on the line) 抧 I was fazed (on the line)
抧 I was used (on the line) 抧 I was dazed (on the line)
Just had to split (off the line) 抍os I was crazed (off the line)
抧 I remember all the good times - me 抧 miller enjoyed
Up and down the m1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I抳e got to destroy
Oh look out lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy
All american alien boy all american alien boy
Don抰 look down put your feet on the ground don抰 drown in the big aquarium
Don抰 walk slow - put on a big show - shove your meat down vegetarians
Don抰 get slugged, get mugged, get bugged, or they抣l sling you in the jug
Shove you under some rug, give you some drug - pull out the plug and then...
And they抮e telling me this hamburger抯 cheaper than the other
抧 this television抯 cheaper than the other
And they抮e selling me hotdogs cheaper than the other
抧 these pizzas cheaper than the other
And I don抰 understand all this - I抦 just an all american alien boy
抧 they抮e telling me rifles are shot in connecticut
They抮e telling me pistols are shot in westchester
You can get a saturday night special on flatbush, on the bowery, or the bronx
Or on 42nd street - and I don抰 understand all this - being an all american alien boy
I抳e got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts
My head抯 full of ulcers I got lungs full of butts
My heart wants a transplant - it thinks that I抦 nuts
My logic won抰 open - my eyes won抰 shut
抧 I抦 beginning to dig all this - being an all american alien boy
And your women are always right (alright)
They always know so much more
抍os the women came from heaven
抧 the men came outta some store
抧 they don抰 know who they are and they don抰 know what they抮e for
I抦 an all american alien boy - look out mary tyler moore - all american
Alien boy - etc.
Chorus
Ten bears, two bears, standing bear, plenty bear,
Old bear, brave bear, hollow horn bear
Silver knife, spotted tail, yellow hand, red cloud,
Red fox, red horse, black kettle,
White ghost, white bull, white thunder, white hog,
Hold on a minute gotta frog in my throat
Cochise, alchise, roman nose, geronimo - hold on a minute - more to go
Sitting bull, tall bull, crazy horse and short bull,
Low dog, red dog, yellow wolf, low wolf
Loco, victorio, chato, little crow, dead eyes, jak, taza 抧 colorow
My mouth抯 exploiting that抯 enough of this noise
I guess we抮e all - all american alien boys.
