The circus tents are dead, 
but the sideshow is doing well
The Osbournes and Anna Nicole
are too freaky 2 tell-uh-huh

Take the bad with the good
I wanna change it, 
but I wouldn't leave it if I could

We are getting tan in America
We love Spam in America
Polanski's banned from America

Have u heard in America?
We're crying in America
We're laughing in America
We're living in America
Well, I think this is one of the best songs on the CD just for it's political
content.  Enjoy.  Also the chorus <G-F-G-G-F> Figure that out on your own. It's
kinda hard to get the rhythm.
