Well it's 3 a.m., I'm driving in my car 
Under neon signs I can't see the stars 
Out in nowhere land where everything looks the same 
Fenced in dumps and fire lanes 
It's another in-depth report on the president's underwear 
While some little girl gets raped out in the Bronx somewhere 
But thank god out in the suburbs we know where to go to buy a toaster 
The woman that I met returns to me in a flash 
Last night there was a party that I think I was at 
"Why don't you pour yourself a drink, have a seat here on our couch of mink" 
He says, "May I introduce, this is America" 

And she says, "You can be king in the land of milk and trash 
Render your opinion, but first let's see the cash 
You can buy a defense that's sure to save your ass 
You can take a walk, there are people living underground 
It's raining cats and dogs, but it won't trickle down 
So we'll have another drink, well, we will have another round 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" 

So I sat down on the couch next to America 
There were holes in her veins but she was pretty just the same 
And she laughed in a strange, innocent way 
And said, "Let the soundbites rush over you, you won't feel the pain 
See that man by the door, his name is Sam 
I am only his whore is what I am 
And he will dive for my pearls till I am dry 
See, the American mind needs its antidepressants 
And it's evil villains and heroes and wars 
But I am just a simple girl 
But I once had a garden, I once was wild 
But he poisoned it, bit by bit 
Left me to fend like a motherless child 

Oh, and you can be king in the land of milk and trash 
Render your opinion, but first let's see the cash 
You can buy a defense that's sure to save your ass 
You can take a walk, there are people living underground 
It's raining cats and dogs, but it won't trickle down 
So we'll have another drink, well, we will have another round 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, you can be king in the land of milk and trash 
Render your opinion, but first let's see the cash 
You can buy a defense that's sure to save your ass 
You can take a walk, there are people living underground 
It's raining cats and dogs, but it won't trickle down 
So we'll have another drink, well, we will have another round, yeah
