[Intro]:
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream
[Verse 1]:
She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned, hot blond, called Anya
I asked her, "Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?"
"Because I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine
A dive on Vine"
[Verse 2]:
Air hostesses doing gossip magazine
Crosswords on a flight to JFK
Thirty-nine years old
With a mile-high sheen
Trying to stimulate a mind
That is slowly starting to decay
[Pre-Chorus]:
I itch my skin, I jump up and say
"Lady, I know why your thoughts turn grey."
[Pre-Chorus (Video version)]:
You do anything for a dime
Looking for the golden lie
[Chorus]:
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
[Verse 3]:
A fat security making place for me
Soon as I touch down in old L.A
He said, "Oh, my god, you look just like Shakira
No, no, you're Catherine Zeta!"
"Actually, my name's Marina"
[Pre-Chorus]:
Your mind is just like mine –
All filled up with things benign
You're looking for the golden lie
[Chorus 2]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
[Bridge]
American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream
[Final Chorus]
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh, oh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, woo-hoo
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
