Blasphemous Rumours
American car
Carryin' a dream and a
road map
Deep in my American heart
But where's those mountain
majesties
Where's those waves of grain
Billboards from sea to shining sea
man it ain't the same
They got Mount Rushmore on a cup
Everybody needs one of those
For a dollar more more they'll fill it up
You can drink out of Lincoln's nose
They got the Hard Rock t-shirts,
they got Elvis,too
And sooner or later, mark my words
You know they're gonna get you
____
I've been searchin' for the promised land
But it
Sammy Davis City
written by J. Strummer and B. Setzer
When it's raining and times are hard
And there's too much junk in the backyard
You hope for a rainbow
Be it lotto or keno
In the trailer park
That's the light in the dark
In all of the valleys
Under lucky stars
By the satellite dishes
And the non-running cars
I'm feeling all the people dreaming
Blue tiles are cool
All around the pool
Greek columns are fine
But give me a deal on the vine
Nothing pretentious
I haven't changed
I got sixty billion
But I'm still the same
The pool is hot
The beer is cold
The cigar costs a lot
And the wine is old
Where the car reps dream
Like Walter Mitty
Oh, book me a berth
In Sammy Davis City, yeah!
Well, Annie and Danny
Are growing too fast
And I can't fix the hammock
'Cause I'm feeling half-assed
Those basket ball hoops
Became chicken coops
There's a motel for sale
A cafe and a jail
In all of the valleys
Under lucky Stars
By the satillite dishes
and the non-running cars
I'm feeling all the people dreaming
Blue tiles are cool
All around the pool
Greek columns are fine
But give me a deal on the vine
Nothing pretentious
I haven't changed
I got sixty billion
But I'm still the same
The pool is hot
The beer is cold
The cigar costs a lot
And the wine is old
Where the car reps dream
Like Walter Mitty
Oh, book me a berth
In Sammy Davis City, yeah!
I'm feeling all the people dreaming
Feeling all the people dreaming
Feeling all the people ... dreaming
