I heard that girls don’t like guys with no ambition
I heard that people don’t like being told what to do
It’s ground for secession
I heard that nobody likes their 9 to 5's
But we line up to get them
I heard that rock is dead
And cellphones give you cancer
I heard that kindness kills and charity is selfish
Why do people take so much time
To make themselves look like they don’t care?
I heard that parents don’t like
When band guys date their daughters
I heard the world’s gonna end
So we’re not paying our taxes
America, nice to meet you
So this is paradise
I’ve heard a lot of things, but I’ve seen nothing
America, nice to meet you
I can’t watch the news, today
It feels my head with nightmares
I felt the floor collapse beneath my feet
It’s a slow climb
Back to the top to the times that we felt
We can provide for ourselves and our families
I heard that things will change
I’m just so tired of waiting
America, nice to meet you
So this is paradise
I’ve heard a lot of things, but I’ve seen nothing
America, nice to meet you
La-la la-la, la-la la-la
La-la la-la, la-la la-la la
La-la la-la, la-la la-la
La-la la-la, la-la la-la la
La-la la-la, la-la la-la (I've heard a lot of things)
La-la la-la, la-la la-la la (But I’ve seen nothing)
La-la la-la, la-la la-la
La-la la-la, la-la la-la la
America, nice to meet you
So this is paradise
I’ve heard a lot of things, but I’ve seen nothing
America, nice to meet you
(I heard that rock is dead
And cellphones give you cancer)
America, nice to meet you
(I heard the world’s gonna end
Wo-world's gonna end)
So this is paradise
I’ve heard a lot of things, but I’ve seen nothing
America, nice to meet you
