Текст песни Is America Dead? (Kim Fowley) с переводом

Angry, angry, madness motion

Destruction is your life devotion

For love and peace do we have to fight

The face of youth is as dark as night

Baby, is America dead?

Are we dying

Are you the one who’s dead?

Baby, is America dead?

Are you the brave new world

Or the end instead?

Baby, is America dead?

Baby, is America dead?

Baby, is America dead?

The streets are cloudy

And the streets are red

Her people are screamin'

And people are yellin'

The way is the left

And the way that they’re tellin'

The older folks

They don’t have a chance

They don’t know how to sing

And they don’t know how to dance

But don’t we know they fought in a war

Before we were here, a long time before

Do you really think that America’s dead?

Do you really think that America’s dead?

Where you gonna live if it’s dead?

Well where you gonna love if it’s dead?

Where you gonna groove if it’s dead?

If America’s dead

Are you the one who’s dead instead?

Is America dead, is America dead?

At Woodstock last summer

Everybody asked

If there was a brand new nation

And they asked about Toronto

They said that’s gonna be

The brand new nation

But those nation had a lot of mud

Those nations had a lot of water

What about America, if America’s dead

Will a big cloud crawl across America?

What did we live for? Is America, is America? Are we America? Are we the

universe? Are we the universe? Then who’s the liar. Is America in our minds or

are we in America’s minds? Everybody, where are we? Are we dead? Are we dead?

Are we? Is America?

Is America, America

God shed your grace

All kinds of stones

And all kinds of rocks

Gonna burn down the bridge

Gonna burn down the block

Set fire to this whole damn nation

Gonna create all kinds of sensation

Oh can you see

By the dawn’s early light

Four score and too many trips ago, one of my brothers, he got stopped out in

the Far East. When they sent his coffin home, my mother said. «Is America dead?

Dead?» Is Frankenstein or Jerry Rubin, or who will be our president?

Who’s gonna be our president? Will it be teenage girls in the Senate?

Will it be spirit change freaks in the White House? Who’s gonna be in the

house of congress? Dwarfs and midgets? Did George Washington really grow

marijuana on his Virginia plantation? And tell me about America

Is America dead, is America dead?

Is America dead?

Is it, is it, is it, is it

Listen, man, I hear that if you save your money up, if you save your bread,

you can, you can split to Europe and work your way over on one of those tramp

steamers, you know. And when you get there all these chicks come out and say, «Hey, American! Hey, man, they say America’s dead, you know, and you can stay in

our country.» «What do you mean?» «Yeah, you can stay in our country.

And well, we don’t have toilets or electricity or vitamins, but man,

that’s all right.»

Is America dead?

Baby, is America dead?

Is America really dead?

I am it, and you are it, and she is it, and that is that
