Текст песни Everyman Is a King (The Pogues) с переводом

In search of a good life the Pilgrims set sail

Then all through the new land they blazed their brave trails

The iron horse speeding down freshly-laid rails

Brought settlers determined to prosper

From the far corners they made it their home

The ities and germans, the paddies the poles

Goin' down in the dirt comin' up with the gold

Like Bill Fuller, the Kennedys and Corleones

Life is so good in the US of A

Live out you dreams in Amerikay

If you’ve gut the guts and the bucks, it is said

Every man is a king in the US of A

Every man is a king in Amerikay

The pilgrims these days they are called astronauts

They seek new battlefields on the moon and beyond

To wage their star wars in the sky by-and-by

And to shit on us all from on high

Then when it’s all over and the world is no more

When the White House and Kremlin have settled their score

The stars and stripes flag will fly high, proud out there in space

And that’s why we all love the United States

In the land of Republican automatons

Uncle Sam’s forces so gung-ho and bronzed

Just waiting their orders from Washington

To fight for your peace and your freedom

Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador

How foolish of you not to open your doors

To the Hersheys, Budweisers, McDonalds and more…

This wonderful life could be yours
