lyrics

It's lonely there, It's lonely there
I know I'm not supposed to care about
Breaking the rules, swimming in pools
But I can't get em' out of my mind
Not I'm not scared, I'm not scared
To say I'm proud of my fellow Americans
Everybody needs a little love some of the time

Rita was a singer in a band
Had about a half a dozen fans
She took a summer trip to LA
Now Rita a couple tattoos
A couple hundred thousand hits on Youtube
In the nude, she got a California senator screwed

It's lonely there, It's lonely there
I know I'm not supposed to care about
Hollywood News, Silicone Boobs
But I can't get em' out of my mind
Not I'm not scared, I'm not scared
To say I'm proud of my fellow Americans
Everybody needs a little love some of the time

Lemme tell you bout Bernie
See Bernie was a kid on the block
He went from plumbing to king of the stocks
A hard-working, honest, respectable, self-made family man
Now Bernie's kids are crying the tears
Cause Bernie's doing hundred and fifty years
With a bunk bed husband teaching him his first career

It's lonely there, It's lonely there
I know I'm not supposed to care about
Pimping the jewels, prison life rules
But I can't get em' out of my mind
Not I'm not scared, I'm not scared
To say I'm proud of my fellow Americans
Everybody needs a little love some of the time

Why are they so afraid, afraid we're gonna invade?
Don't they know Americans are all alone?
Why don't they understand we just wanna be friends
It's so obvious, don't they know

It's lonely there, It's lonely there
I know I'm not supposed to care about
Breaking the rules, swimming in pools
But I can't get em' out of my mind
Not I'm not scared, I'm not scared
To say I'm proud of my fellow Americans
Everybody needs a little love some of the time

It's lonely here, it's lonely there
It's lonely just about everywhere
For people like me and people like you
I can't get them out of my mind
Not I'm not scared, I'm not scared
To say I'm proud of my fellow Americans
Everybody needs a little love some of the time
