Lyrics and translation
Original
Make me a fist.
Purple mountain road that I can't miss. Have we all had enough?
Have we all had too much?
Lost in a dream.
Please step down from your bully machine. Can we all back it up?
Can we all give it up?
These are the ways when you come from America.
The sights, the sounds, the smells.
These are the ways when you come from America.
I don't wanna die and she's gonna take good care of ya.
I just wanna thrive and there's gonna be hysteria.
Don't be late. Walk us through the golden gate.
Yeah.
Bruce and George singing for their own reward.
Take me inside.
Twenty-three windows and it's gonna be a long ride. All had enough.
Have we all had too much?
Sing me the blues.
Cowgirl tied in her basketball shoes. Can we all back it up?
Can we all give it up?
These are the ways when you come from America.
The sights, the sounds, the smells.
These are the ways when you come from America.
I don't wanna die and she's gonna take good care of ya.
I just wanna thrive and there's gonna be hysteria.
Don't be late. Walk us through the golden gate.
Yeah.
Bruce and George singing for their own reward.
