We Just Came From The U.S.A.
Burton Cummings Lyrics

We don't take no prisoners
We are not afraid to take risks and do what it takes to succeed

For the funk police
We won't let anyone restrict our creativity or freedom to express ourselves

We keep our eyes wide open
We are always aware of our surroundings and potential opportunities

And we protect the peace
We make sure that our actions don't harm others or disrupt the status quo

Got a real basic instinct
We have a strong gut feeling about what we need to do in order to succeed

To use a real big stick
We aren't afraid to use our power and resources to get what we want

Gonna rewrite history
We are determined to create our own legacy and leave our mark on the world

Get out the good pen quick
We are ready to take action and start making our aspirations a reality

Hey, hey, get out of my way
We are confident and focused, and won't let anyone stand in our way

We just came from the U.S.A
We are proud of our American heritage and won't let anyone forget it

We never listen to revisionists
We don't care about what others think or say about us, as long as we believe in ourselves

Don't hear a single word
We are immune to criticism and negativity, and won't let it bring us down

Got our own sense of history
We have a unique perspective and interpretation of past events, and won't let anyone change our minds

The best you ever heard
Our version of history is the most compelling and inspiring

Got all the noses to the grindstone
We are working hard and staying focused on our goals

To make a brand new deal
We are looking for new and innovative opportunities to succeed in our endeavors

We're taking everything we need to
We are resourceful and won't let anything stand in our way of success

We gotta oil the wheel
We need to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently in order to succeed

Cut you open for a nickel
We will do whatever it takes to get what we want, even if it means being ruthless and cruel

Sew you back up for a dime
We will also help others when it is convenient for us, even if it contradicts our earlier actions

For a quarter I can testify someone else did it
We are willing to lie or manipulate others if it benefits us in the end

Ooh, and for a dollar do it one more time
We will continue to use these tactics and behaviors in order to succeed, no matter the cost

Hey, hey, get out of our way
We are unapologetic and will do whatever it takes to achieve our goals, even if it means hurting others

We just came from the U.S.A
We are proud to be American and believe that our actions are justified by our country's values
