lyrics

North Amerika, land of the free
Home of the opportunity to express the unexpressible
They will take you by the hand, lead ya to the promised land
As long as you can pay the score

North Korea, digging a hole into the Earth
Exploding up from the bowels
They will take you for a fool. lead ya to that pool, and
Stick your head under!

But daddy's comin' home
Don't you fear the girls aren't crazy, yet
And falling down below
Where ya got nowhere to run, run, run!

North Amerika, lead by a man who thinks that
He is the master of all and one
They are serious when they say "That's how ya do it",
That's how it's run

North Korea, you stand between the ends of the Earth
And the end of the line
Between ya lies the truth, you can tell it
It will come up from the Earth...

But mommy's comin' home
Don't you fear, the boys aren't crazy, yet
And falling on down below
Where ya got nowhere to run, run, run
Run! Run! Run!

"And where were you supposed to be beside-uh ya mother again?
Like that!
And couldn't ya find another battle like that again?
Again!
And where were you supposed to be inside-uh ya mother again?
Like that!
Again!
Like that!
Again!"
