            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 We heard richard nixon say, welcome to the usa 
The common sense I sometimes lack 
Has opened up a seismic crack 
We've fallen in and I can't pull back 
And I guess we'll have to stay 
In open arms we put our trust they put us on a big red bus 
Twin spirits soaking up a dream 
Fuel to feed the press machine 
After years that were long and lean 
We're finally on our way 
[Chorus] 
And richard nixon's on his knees he's sent so many overseas 
He'd like to know if you and me could help him in some way 
A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do 
A small diversion caused by two, pale kids come to play 
And we heard richard nixon say 'welcome to the usa' 
Neither of us understood the way things ticked in hollywood 
We just loaded in and grabbed the bat 
With little room to swing a cat 
And pretty soon we were where it's at 
Or so the papers say 
And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we'd never seen 
Our heroes led us by the hand 
Through brian wilson's promised land 
Where disney's god and he commands 
Both mice and men to stay 
[Repeat chorus] 
In a bright red porsche on sunset I saw steve mcqueen 
I guess he's just about the coolest guy I've ever seen 
And for you and me that speeding car is how it's going to be 
I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline 
Oh we heard richard nixon say, welcome to the usa 
The common sense I sometimes lack 
Has opened up a seismic crack 
We've fallen in and I can't pull back 
Pale kids come to play 
And we heard richard nixon say, I've gotta go but you can stay
