THE POGUES lyrics : "Every Man Is A King "

(Terry Woods/Ron Kavanna)
In search of a good life the Pilgrims set sail
Then all through the new land they blazed their brave trails

The iron horse speeding down freshly-laid rails
Brought settlers determined to prosper


From the far corners they made it their home
The ities and germans, the paddies the poles
Goin' down in the dirt comin' up with the gold

Like Bill Fuller, the Kennedys and Corleones

Life is so good in the US of A

Live out you dreams in Amerikay
If you've gut the guts and the bucks, it is said
Every man is a king in the US of A

Every man is a king in Amerikay

The pilgrims these days they are called astronauts

They seek new battlefields on the moon and beyond
To wage their star wars in the sky by-and-by
And to %#@! on us all from on high


Then when it's all over and the world is no more
When the White House and Kremlin have settled their score

The stars and stripes flag will fly high, proud out there in
space
And that's why we all love the United States


In the land of Republican automatons
Uncle Sam's forces so gung-ho and bronzed

Just waiting their orders from Washington
To fight for your peace and your freedom


Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador
How foolish of you not to open your doors
To the Hersheys, Budweisers, McDonalds and more.....

This wonderful life could be yours.
