Keep the Junk in America - Skyhooks

I saw a light in the desert sky, space station comin' down

I hope it don’t fall on me, twisted metal on the ground

I see the pain in a young man’s eyes as he reaches for a fix

I see him shake when he’s hangin' out, that’s not what I call kicks

Keep the junk in America

Keep the junk in America

Keep that junk, leave it where it belongs

I ate a burger and some fries, mamma, it made me so sick

They gave it to me with a smile, knew it was a trick

I heard some muzak on the radio, they play it every hour

I hear that garbage on the radio and I sing it in the shower

Keep the junk in America

Keep the junk in America

Keep that junk, leave it where it belongs

America she’s got the best, she’s also got the worst

But down here we get everything, sometimes I think we’re cursed

We gave them the boomerang, you know it just flew back

With stars and with stripes all over it, radar on its track

There’s a missile base just down the street

Where they fight the war

And when the rockets find it

I won’t be here no more

Keep the junk in America

Keep the junk in America

Keep that junk, leave it where it belongs

Keep the junk in America

Keep the junk in America

Keep the junk in America

Leave it where it belongs

Keep that junk in America

Leave it where it belongs
