[Verse 1]
Good morning lethargy
Drink Pepsi, is good for energy
The bath's on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat and on my neck, a nasty bruise
Where it came from? Well, I don't know
We played last night, it was a good show
Got the play out, second rate chat show
It's a nationwide deal, so you got to go
Chuck from the company says it'll be alright
Got an ad on KROQ and there's an in-store tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I build things up and then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio

[Chorus]
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
Looking for America
With its kooky nights and suicide
Where the TV says it's alright
Because everybody's hung up on something or other

[Verse 2]
Stepping off in 20, so the driver says
I should sleep tonight, but I think I'll watch videos instead
Annie Hall leaves New York in the end
Press rewind and Woody gets her back again

[Pre-Chorus]
And the whole world could pass through me
But I don't know if it means much to me

[Chorus]
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
I'm looking for America
With its kooky nights and suicide
Where the TV says it's alright
Because everybody's strung out on something or other

[Outro]
And the whole world could pass through me
But I don't know if it means much to me

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
