Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
Now he can't afford a bag

Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
And they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U.S.A
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
But what can I do?

[verse]
Yankee detectives
Are allways on the TV
Cause killers in America
Work seven days a week

Nevermind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody esapes

[chorus]
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
