Текст песни All American Alien Boy (single A-side – 05/1976)

Hunter

Just a whitey from blighty headin' out West
I got my little green card and my bulletproof vest
I'm gonna New York City where the buzz is the best
On down the line (down the line) down the line (down the line).

Oh, I remember all the good times, me and Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
So sad to take a change 'cause the change is got to destroy
Oh look out …. , here I come, land ahoy-hoy-hoy.

All American alien boy, all American alien boy
All American alien boy, all American alien boy.

Now, don't you look down, put your feet on the ground, don't drown in the big aquarium
Don't walk slow, put on a big show, down your meat vegetarians
Don't get slugged, get mugged, get bugged or they'll sling you in the jug, sweep you under some rug
Give you some drug, pull out the plug and then …

And they're telling me this hamburger's cheaper than the other
And this television's cheaper than the other
And they're selling me hotdogs cheaper than the other
And these pizzas cheaper than the other
And I don't understand all this 'cause I'm just an all American alien boy.

I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts
My head's full of ulcers, I got lungs full of butts
My heart wants a transplant, it thinks that I'm nuts
My logic won't open, my eyes won't shut
And I'm beginning to dig all this, being an all American alien town boy.

All American alien boy, all American alien boy
All American alien boy, all American alien boy.

Ten bears, two bears, standing bear, plenty bear
Old bear, brave bear, hollow horn bear
Silver knife, spotted tail, yellow hand, red cloud
Red fox, red horse, black kettle, white ghost
White bull, white thunder, white hog
Hold on a minute, gotta frog in my throat
I said Cochise, Alchise, roman nose, Geronimo
Hold on a minute, it's more to go.

Sitting Bull, Tall Bull, Crazy Horse and Short Bull
Low Dog, Red Dog, Yellow Wolf, Low Wolf
Loco, Victorio, Chato, Little Crow
Dead Eyes, Jack, Taza 'n' Colorow.
