[Verse 1]
No one likes us, I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens
[Verse 2]
We give them money, but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
[Verse 3]
Asia's crowded, Europe's too old
Africa's far too hot, and Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one, there'll be no one left to blame us
[Bridge]
We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an all-American amusement park
Hey, they got surfing too!
[Verse 4]
Boom goes London, boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world 'round
Could just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it would be
We can set everybody free
You'll have a Japanese kimono, babe
It'll be Italian shoes for me
[Outro]
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
No one likes us, I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens
[Verse 2]
We give them money, but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
[Verse 3]
Asia's crowded, Europe's too old
Africa's far too hot, and Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one, there'll be no one left to blame us
[Bridge]
We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an all-American amusement park
Hey, they got surfing too!
[Verse 4]
Boom goes London, boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world 'round
Could just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it would be
We can set everybody free
You'll have a Japanese kimono, babe
It'll be Italian shoes for me
[Outro]
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
