The Tubes - Proud To Be An American lyrics

(spooner) I'm proud To be an american I'm proud Of the groovy things we've done There's television, free religion, rock 'n' roll, standard oil, Times square, jimmy darren, corey wells, and smokey bear, Price reduction, reconstruction, peace corps, and lots more Culture that we got to lend I'm proud To be an american And i'm proud Had a great time bein' one There's your school and my school and both of us in high school, Surfboards, cigarettes, homework, southern comfort Boy's dean was real mean, Made us keep our locker's clean Failed nearly every cla** Ditchin' was a gas I'm proud To be a young american I'm proud, just think about it All the far out things that we've begun There's revolution, constitution, land, sea, and air pollution, Cold wars, hot wars, gas wars, and confrontutions, Constipation, consternation, open hearted palpatations Muscular dystrophy I'm proud to be an american Because we got department stores Full of cheap guitars But when sputnik plays 'em, you just go go go go I'm proud to be an american--we got two chickens in every garage And i wish every other kid could be one--in my country, The medium is the ma**age 'cause it's impossible to give Equality and justice to inferior foreigners Too jealous to trust us Gimme your weak and your homeless How 'bout checkin' the oil ah, fella? I'm proud to be an american
