The Clash - I'm So Bored With the U.S.A. lyrics

(Strummer/Jones)

Yankee soldier

He wanna shoot some skag

He met it in Cambodia

But now he can't afford a bag

Yankee dollar talk

To the dictators of the world

In fact it's giving orders

An' they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...

But what can I do?

Yankee detectives

Are always on the TV

'Cos killers in America

Work seven days a week

Never mind the stars and stripes

Let's print the Watergate Tapes

I'll salute the New Wave

And I hope nobody escapes

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...

But what can I do?

Move up Starsky

For the C.I.A.

Suck on Kojak

For the USA
