Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee, a dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
And they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do

Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes

I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do

I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do

I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
I'm so bored with the U.S.A.
But what can I do

Move up Starsky for the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak for the U.S.A.

He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa

In the in-tray, lots of work
But the boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
But he's just like everyone, he's got a Ford Cortina
That just won't run without fuel - fill her up, Jacko

He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no

And the invoice, it don't quite fit
No payola in his alphabetical file, said for the government man
Yes, he's gonna really tell the boss
He's gonna really let him know exactly how he feels - it's pretty bad

He's in love with a-rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no, no, no
Let them know, let them know
