Toyah - America For Beginners lyrics

rate me

(Skaith/Jones)<br />

What's keeping the White House white<br />

Is it chalk, is it fog, is it fear<br />

Are they staying up most of the night<br />

Sending somebody out for a beer<br />

Is it bedtime for Bonzo, is it time for a change<br />

Is it flavour-free TV dinners<br />

It's a hard thing to take, when they make a mistake<br />

America for beginners<br />

The sound of a bell with a crack<br />

Even the swingers are swinging right<br />

The vigilantes are on their way back<br />

With prime time fight, the good fight<br />

What a start to the day, it starts three times with a K<br />

There's no sponsored hour for sinners<br />

They'll bring back the hot seat, turn up the heat<br />

America for beginners<br />

That's America for, America for beginners<br />

That's America for, America for beginners<br />

That's America for, America for beginners<br />

That's America for beginners<br />

You wear designer jeans after dark<br />

Your shirts are short cut, in satin<br />

But watch out for Central Park<br />

The apartment's in uptown Manhattan<br />

It's a sign of the times<br />

You'd better stay out in front<br />

They've only got time for winners<br />

Just keep living for fun, you son of a gun<br />

In America for beginners<br />

That's America for, America for beginners<br />

That's America for, America for beginners<br />

That's America for, America for beginners<br />

That's America for beginners<br />

Everywhere the stripes and stars<br />

Men in dark suits and unmarked cars<br />

Sipping Jack Daniels in Third World bars<br />

We're close to the edge, as close as we can get<br />

We're as close as we can get<br />
