Well I packed my bags in the land of rags, 'Cos I don't believe in them dimmo drags

Don't wanna vote for the left wing, don't wanna vote for the right, I gotta have both to make me fly

Well I was born and I was raised. I was schooled and I was fazed
GCFCG
And I was used and I was dazed, just had to split, 'cos I was crazed
CF
Well I remember all the good times me and Miller enjoyed, up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy

But the future has to change and to change, I've got to destroy

Oh, look out Lennon, here I come, land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Don't look down, put your feet on the ground, don't drown in the big aquarium
GFC
Don't walk slow, put on a big show, shove your meat down vegetarians

Shove you under some rug, give you some drug, pull out the plug and then

I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts, my head's full of ulcers

And I'm beginning to dig all this, being an All American Alien Boy

And your women are always right, they always know so much more
F
'Cos the women came from heaven and the men came outta some store

And they don't know who they are and they don't know what they're for

Well I'm an All American Alien Boy, look out Mary Tyler Moore
