There's a rainbow on sunset boulevard Made of tears from hollywood People praying for their green card Pay to play, work for food
Only in America, only in America Only in America, only in America
Swear allegiance every morning It's another sunny day Well, it's murder on the freeway Someone's life gets blown away There's a pirate on the radio There's a preacher on tv Call the CIA Big Daddio Tell the White House I'll be free
Tijuana 'cross the border Eat the worm, see paradise Education in Las Vegas Cut the cards and roll the dice People come to California And they aim to do it right Every waitress a performer You'll be famous overnight
