Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?
Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?
Move up Starsky [1]
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak [2]
For the USA
He wanna shoot some skag

[2] Kojak was another ‘70’s US cop show of reknown. It starred actor/singer Telly Savalas as a suave, bald cop who loved to suck on lollipops and personified the headstrong and brash New York City where his story was set.
