Welcome 2 America lyrics

Welcome

Welcome to America

Where you can fail at your job

Get fired, rehired

And get a seven-hundred billion dollar tip

(Come on in, sit right down, and fill up your pockets, yeah)

Mass media, information overload

Welcome to America

(The following message brought to you by Datacom)

Distracted by the features of the iPhone

(Got an application for each of situation)

In other words, taken by a pretty face

(Somebody's watching you)

(I see you, I see you) Welcome to America

Hook up later at the iPad

We can meet at my place (Welcome to America)

Welcome to America (Welcome to America)

Where everything and nothing that Google says is hip

(The sales tax for the following items will be raised immediately)

We will not raise your taxes (Cigarettes, soda, gas)

Read our lips

Welcome to America (America)

Welcome to the big show (To America)

Everybody's looking for something

When there ain't no place to go (Welcome to America)

Except inside America (America)

That's the only place I know (To America)

Transformation happens deep within

Yes or no? (Yes)

Welcome to America

One of our greatest exports was a thing called jazz

You think today's music'll last?

(Dismantle all monopolies)

(Dismantle all monopolies)

Welcome to America (Welcome)

(Hope and change) Mm, everything takes forever

And truth is a new minority (Truth)

Oh, welcome to America

(Welcome to America)

Today, we'd like to discuss America's plan to fix the educational system

The Pledge of Allegiance will now read as follows

"I pledge allegiance to the Earth of the United States of the Universe"

(Welcome to America)

There is no arguing with the book

(When am I gonna learn something new?)

There is no arguing with the book

(Who's gonna teach it to me? You?)

There is no arguing with the book

(What's that outside my window sill?)

There is no (Could it be?), arguing (Our free will?)

You say yes, I say no, let love flow

America can provide many opportunities for the young female who wishes to work (For the state)

For her own advancement up from the underclass to become one

Welcome to America

Go to school to become a celebrity

But don't be late (F-A-M-O-U-S)

And everybody and they mama got a sex tape

Welcome to America

We snatch bass players, not purses

Keep playing, it gets worse

(Land of the free, home of the brave)

(Oops, I mean, land of the free, home of the slave)

Get down on your knees, hit me

Welcome to America

Welcome to the big show

Everybody's looking for something

When there ain't no place to go

Except inside America, that's the only place I know (Or get down)

Transformation happens deep within

Yes (Knees), or no?
