All American Alien Boy
(ian hunter)
I packed my bags - in the land of rags
cos I dont believe in them dimmo drags
Dont wanna vote for the left wing - dont 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 n 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) n I was raised (on the line)
I was schooled (on the line) n I was fazed (on the line)
n I was used (on the line) n I was dazed (on the line)
Just had to split (off the line) cos I was crazed (off the line)
n I remember all the good times - me n miller enjoyed
Up and down the m1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change Ive got to destroy
Oh look out lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy
All american alien boy all american alien boy
Dont look down put your feet on the ground dont drown in the big aquarium
Dont walk slow - put on a big show - shove your meat down vegetarians
Dont get slugged, get mugged, get bugged, or theyll sling you in the jug
Shove you under some rug, give you some drug - pull out the plug and then...
And theyre telling me this hamburgers cheaper than the other
n this televisions cheaper than the other
And theyre selling me hotdogs cheaper than the other
n these pizzas cheaper than the other
And I dont understand all this - Im just an all american alien boy
n theyre telling me rifles are shot in connecticut
Theyre 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 dont understand all this - being an all american alien boy
Ive got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts
My heads full of ulcers I got lungs full of butts
My heart wants a transplant - it thinks that Im nuts
My logic wont open - my eyes wont shut
n Im beginning to dig all this - being an all american alien boy
And your women are always right (alright)
They always know so much more
cos the women came from heaven
n the men came outta some store
n they dont know who they are and they dont know what theyre for
Im 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
