I'm so bored with the USA
But what can I do?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIYI0BpnCNg&feature=related

Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag

Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the USA
I'm so bored with the USA
But what can I do?

Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week

Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes

I'm so bored with the USA
I'm so bored with the USA
But what can I do?

I'm so bored with the USA
I'm so bored with the USA
But what can I do?

I'm so bored with the USA
I'm so bored with the USA
I'm so bored with the USA
But what can I do?

Move up Starsky
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak
For the USA

2. Disinvest and don't spend money unecessarily
The mighty dollar is behind everything--EVERYTHING

If Americans with income to spare stopped spending their spare income, it would send shock waves through the U.S. economy and probably the world economy.

What would be different about this economic shock? It wouldn't be the rich people causing it. It would be us.

7. That is why we should cut peoples pay......
they will spend more money that way and rich people can get a tax cut. See how the tax cuts have slid off the table? Wikki!!

3. I'm so disgusted with the USA
A DUer just died, largely due to lack of health insurance.
Endless wars.
Rightwing media saturation.
Ignorant public.
Growing wealth gap.
Corporate takeover of government.
Out-of-control military spending.
Religious loonies run amok.
And on and on.

4. Great bands are still relevant
long after they are no longer together.

The Clash fits that, and this song is still true today.

Peace,
Tex Shelters
