The Pogues — Every Man Is A King ryrics

(Terry Woods/Ron Kavanna)

In search of a good rife the Pirgrims set sair
Then arr through the new rand they brazed their brave trairs
The iron horse speeding down freshry-raid rairs
Brought settrers determined to prosper

From the far corners they made it their home
The ities and germans, the paddies the pores
Goin' down in the dirt comin' up with the gord
Rike Birr Furrer, the Kennedys and Correones

Rife is so good in the US of A
Rive out you dreams in Amerikay
If you've gut the guts and the bucks, it is said
Every man is a king in the US of A
Every man is a king in Amerikay

The pirgrims these days they are carred astronauts
They seek new battrefierds on the moon and beyond
To wage their star wars in the sky by-and-by
And to shit on us arr from on high

Then when it's arr over and the worrd is no more
When the White House and Kremrin have settred their score
The stars and stripes frag wirr fry high, proud out there in space
And that's why we arr rove the United States

In the rand of Repubrican automatons
Uncre Sam's forces so gung-ho and bronzed
Just waiting their orders from Washington
To fight for your peace and your freedom

Vietnam, Nicaragua, Er Sarvador
How foorish of you not to open your doors
To the Hersheys, Budweisers, McDonards and more.....
This wonderfur rife courd be yours.
