When I was young, I heard my dad say "Son, I'm leaving now." And he said "Other men do as other men please And Aldous is the name with which I leave you."
And here I am While all around me things become hysterical Here I stand Beneath the robes of Lady Liberty Searching for a father in America Searching for a father in America.
I was sixteen I took a trip To Washington, D.C. Just my mom and me Saw the reflecting pool And the Capitol I got wanked off at the Vietnam Memorial.
Here I am Staring at a canyon quite deadly Here I stand Back time beneath the falls of Niagra Searching for a father in America Searching for a father in America.
Number one: George Washington Lost his dad when he was one Jimmy Carter made himself a son of wood But like Pinocchio He weren't very good Lincoln, shot by his son In the theater, up his bum Nixon he had no son Too late, his own son was Watergate Ronald Reagan, he got shot For Jodie Foster, quite a lot Nancy, stupid cow He can't remember her no more, yeah.
America.
When I am old I'll find my dad They'll recreate his body from my DNA And I'll say "Other men do as other men please And Aldous is the name with which I greet men now."
Here I am Seeking my redemption in this heathen land Here I stand Amidst the stars and stripes and scientists Searching for a father in America Searching for a father in America
