Well they look to the east They look to the west The Third World wonders Which way's the best We got freedom, we got soul We got blue jeans and rock'n roll Man, there ain't no choice It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) You can be what you want Say what you wanna say (It's better in the U.S.A.) Why can't I make you understand It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) I hear the same propaganda Day after day It's gettin' so hip to knock the U.S.A. If we're so awful and we're so bad You oughta check the night life In Leningrad Man, it ain't even close It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) If you could see behind the curtain Life is cold and grey (It's better in the U.S.A.) How can I make you understand It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better, it's better) I think I'll play Nobody's perfect and change comes slow It's really up to you Which way you wanna go You can lean to the left And lean to the right You can stand in the dark You can stand in the light Drivin' on the beach On a night in June Me and my baby In the lover's moon They're playin' sweet soul music Got it turned up loud Make me feel so good Make me feel so proud Man, there ain't no choice It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) Well they'd be movin' here from Moscow If they could only find a way (It's better in the U.S.A.) How can I make you understand It's better in the U.S.A., baby baby (It's better) We got the burgers and fries (In the U.S.A.) We got the friendly skies (In the U.S.A.) We got the beautiful girls (In the U.S.A.) Got the beautiful curls (In the U.S.A.) We're drivin' beautiful cars (In the U.S.A.) We're diggin' movie stars (In the U.S.A.) We get to make romance (In the U.S.A.) Let the little girl dance (In the U.S.A.) It's better, baby Nice sweater, baby What do you say you and me go for a little drive. Come on. It's better [repeat and fade]
