Hello America

by Dan Bárta

Through neverending 24 hours by the airplane
Now I'm early in the promise land
All the funny language, every single word I learned

Tell me honey why nobody
Tell me honey why nobody
Tell me honey why nobody
Why nobody seems to understand

Hello America
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Hello America
If only I was home and dry

Lost more than crazy black man
In the middle of the street
Johny Small Potatoe is my name
People staring at my head they are staring at my feet

I can do the same things you do
I can do the same things you do
I can do the same things you do
I can do. Yes. I can do the same

Hello America
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Hello America
If only I was home and dry

My future is behind me
My longings are in vain
That is why I feel so insecure
That is why I always feel this discouraging pain

Try very hard to leave by law
Try very hard to leave by law
Try very hard to leave by law
Try very hard to leave you may be sure

Hello America
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Hello America
Hello Goodbye
