NOFX - We Called It America [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

"The leads are weak."
"The leads are weak; fucking leads are weak? You're weak."

[Verse 1]
Remember when America had a middle class and an upper class?
That was way before the exodus
That was the America that we thought was number one
Thought would overcome, thought would never die
That was just our pride and faith: two shitty deadly sins;
I know faith isn't one of 'em but it should have been
Cause when things were crumbling, we had no camaraderie
Just a faith someone would save us from despondence

[Chorus]
We called it America, whoa
We called it America, whoa

[Verse 2]
"Number one America" was a slogan used
To keep morale up when we knew we were already cooked
Then the richer western states
Succeeded in secession and the eastern ones followed right behind
Mexi-Can-America was the perfect name
That epitomized the order of significance, authority and affluence
We had turned it all around, went from number one, straight to number two (shit)

[Interlude]
National bankruptcy, circumcised society
USA, dined and ditched;
Fox reports "poor is the new rich"

[Chorus] x 2

We called it America
