A protest song for any occasion – written and sung by Dennis Boothby
Verse 1
There’s people a dying from hunger and cold. (Let’s Blame America)
There’s no cure for Aids yet, we’re all getting old. (Let’s Blame America)
Don’t want to work, ‘cos I know I got rights, to sleep in till midday
and party all night
It’s not my fault for anything, so blame the capitalists,
If they didn’t make beer, I wouldn’t get pissed.
Verse 2
There’s earthquakes in Turkey, Japan’s got bad storms. (Let’s Blame America)
There’s blizzards in Moscow, Hong Kong’s getting warm. (Let’s Blame America)
Hated my school and I can’t read or write, smoked lots of dope
so my brain has been fried
I got the clap from sleeping round with girls who love to share
But I won’t have to pay, we’ve got Medicare
Chorus
Everything is boring, who needs peace and quiet
I hate fairy stories, gonna start a riot
Verse 3
Let’s ban all the fast food, it just makes us fat. (Let’s Blame America)
So turn on your TV, and eat your Big Mac. (Let’s Blame America)
I want a system where nobody fails, that kills unborn humans
and save all the whales,
Where feelings over-ride the facts so I don’t need to think
‘Cos all I want to do is shag and smoke and drink.
