Kim Fowley - Is America Dead? lyrics

Are we lost? Are we lost? Are we lost? Is America dead? Are we lost, lost, lost, lost? Angry, angry, madness motion Destruction is your life devotion For love and peace do we have to fight The face of youth is as dark as night Baby, is America dead? Are we dying Are you the one who's dead? Baby, is America dead? Are you the brave new world Or the end instead? Baby, is America dead? Baby, is America dead? Baby, is America dead? The streets are cloudy And the streets are red Her people are screamin' And people are yellin' The way is the left And the way that they're tellin' The older folks They don't have a chance They don't know how to sing And they don't know how to dance But don't we know they fought in a war Before we were here, a long time before Do you really think that America's dead? Do you really think that America's dead? Where you gonna live if it's dead? Well where you gonna love if it's dead? Where you gonna groove if it's dead? If America's dead Are you the one who's dead instead? Is America dead, is America dead? At Woodstock last summer Everybody asked If there was a brand new nation And they asked about Toronto They said that's gonna be The brand new nation But those nation had a lot of mud Those nations had a lot of water What about America, if America's dead Will a big cloud crawl across America? What did we live for? Is America, is America? Are we America? Are we the universe? Are we the universe? Then who's the liar. Is America in our minds or are we in America's minds? Everybody, where are we? Are we dead? Are we dead? Are we? Is America? Is America, America God shed your grace All kinds of stones And all kinds of rocks Gonna burn down the bridge Gonna burn down the block Set fire to this whole damn nation Gonna create all kinds of sensation Oh can you see By the dawn's early light Four score and too many trips ago, one of my brothers, he got stopped out in the Far East. When they sent his coffin home, my mother said. "Is America dead? Dead?" Is Frankenstein or Jerry Rubin, or who will be our president? Who's gonna be our president? Will it be teenage girls in the Senate? Will it be spirit change freaks in the White House? Who's gonna be in the house of congress? Dwarfs and midgets? Did George Washington really grow marijuana on his Virginia plantation? And tell me about America Is America dead, is America dead? Is America dead? Is it, is it, is it, is it Listen, man, I hear that if you save your money up, if you save your bread, you can, you can split to Europe and work your way over on one of those tramp steamers, you know. And when you get there all these chicks come out and say, "Hey, American! Hey, man, they say America's dead, you know, and you can stay in our country." "What do you mean?" "Yeah, you can stay in our country. And well, we don't have toilets or electricity or vitamins, but man, that's all right." Is America dead? Baby, is America dead? Is America really dead? I am it, and you are it, and she is it, and that is that
