I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Discussion Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was thinking it'd be fun to have a playlist of "USA sucks" songs written by non-Americans. But I haven't gotten very far; I just have "I'm So Bored With the USA" by the Clash, and some New Pornographers song that has the line, "I was sick of American and her screaming decay."

Any others?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Plus it included the elusive Fifth Beatle, who turns out to be an old lady.

She stole Paul's sandals!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

American Woman by the Guess Who.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I would add Springsteen's Born in the USA and any number of Mellencamp songs to the list.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

They are both American.

Yep, but I thought from David's suggestions that had been added.
