  • Johnny's in America
    Low techs at the wheel

    No-one needs anyone
    They don't even just pretend
    Johnny's in America

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans

    Johnny's in America

    Johnny wants a brain
    Johnny wants to suck on a Coke

    Johnny wants a woman
    Johnny wants to think of a joke

    Johnny's in America

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans

    Johnny's in America
    Johnny looks up at the stars

    Johnny combs his hair
    And Johnny wants pussy in cars

    Johnny's in America
    Johnny's in America

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans

    God is an American
    God is an American

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the world
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans
    I'm afraid of the words
    I'm afraid I can't help it
    I'm afraid I can't

    I'm afraid of Americans
