“I’m afraid of Americans. I’m afraid of the world. I’m afraid I can’t help it. I’m afraid I can’t. I’m afraid of Americans. Johnny’s in America. Johnny wants a plane. Johnny wants to suck on a Coke. Johnny wants a woman. Johnny wants to think of a joke.
Johnny’s in America”

This Is Not America
“A little piece of you, the little piece in me will die.
This is not a miracle, for this is not America.
Blossom fails to bloom this season.
Promise not to stare too long.
This is not America, for this is not the miracle.
There was a time, a storm that blew, so pure.
For this could be the biggest sky, and I could have the faintest idea.
For this is not America. Sha-la-la-la-la”

Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows…)” – David Bowie (Space Oddity)
