about

From big business desecrating sacred Native American burial grounds and putting our nation's water supply at risk re: DAPL, to the blind racism, police brutality and hate crimes that have given birth to BLM, to Donald Trump becoming the President Elect, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. We have chosen to exercise our First Amendment rights while paying respects to David Bowie (and Trent Reznor/NIN, of course) by licensing and covering this song.

lyrics

I'M AFRAID of AMERICANS

Johnny's in America
No tricks at the wheel
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
No one needs anyone
They don't even just pretend
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
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 wants a plane
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
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
Yeah- I'm afraid of Americans-

Johnny's in America
Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair
Johnny wants pussy in cars
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
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 for 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...
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 for 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 words
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the worst
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans-

I’M AFRAID OF AMERICANS-
