(Skaith/Jones)
What`s keeping the White House white
Is it chalk, is it fog, is it fear
Are they staying up most of the night
Sending somebody out for a beer
Is it bedtime for Bonzo, is it time for a change
Is it flavour-free TV dinners
It`s a hard thing to take, when they make a mistake
America for beginners
The sound of a bell with a crack
Even the swingers are swinging right
The vigilantes are on their way back
With prime time fight, the good fight
What a start to the day, it starts three times with a K
There`s no sponsored hour for sinners
They`ll bring back the hot seat, turn up the heat
America for beginners
That`s America for, America for beginners
That`s America for, America for beginners
That`s America for, America for beginners
That`s America for beginners
You wear designer jeans after dark
Your shirts are short cut, in satin
But watch out for Central Park
The apartment`s in uptown Manhattan
It`s a sign of the times
You`d better stay out in front
They`ve only got time for winners
Just keep living for fun, you son of a gun
In America for beginners
That`s America for, America for beginners
That`s America for, America for beginners
That`s America for, America for beginners
That`s America for beginners
Everywhere the stripes and stars
Men in dark suits and unmarked cars
Sipping Jack Daniels in Third World bars
We`re close to the edge, as close as we can get
We`re as close as we can get
