I wanted you to be my promised land I was young and naive, dreamed of Jeannie And thought I loved Lucy But Lucy has gone and so has my dream Sure it's a wonderful life in the states For the young who believe that the doughboy's A friend of Bill Gates Strike it rich and be nailed by a fruitcake one day I saw your beauty and I felt the flow Sensed the power of glory and Worshipped the 4th of July Didn't know what it means and how many have died What will it be Seize your final opportunity For I can't tell So name your poison I sealed my fate in the Monterey Bay Got a lox bagel sandwich instead of A handfull o'sushi The waitress' smile showed the juices within I got a friend is as big as a whale Leaving cracks in the pavement And unable to read the scales Munches fries, enchilladas and pork-chops all day
