"American Cheese"

From a strip mall just outside Des Moines
To a trendy shop in L.A.
The latest variation of
The American Dream is on display
It may be a talking fish
Or a pair of shoes from Mars
It’s all made in China but
We’re proud to call it ours

It’s a way of living
Wasting all of your time
This here slab of American Cheese is mine

It’s in all our movies
Our music videos and T.V.
And our computer software
That crashes so reliably and frequently
It’s all around us
In our homes & SUVs
Maybe Regis Philbin’ll
Hand a million bucks to me

It’s a way of life
And I know we stole that too
But this steaming pile of American Cheese is for you

It’s in every meal we eat
Yet the world is at our feet
This American Cheese is for you and me

Ze French like Jerry
Der Germans dig F.Z.
But me?
A life-line to Rosie O’D-D-D...
