Ich bin aus Amerika Lyrics
The first time I saw him in a movie
Was in black and white on my colour TV
He was a big star in a football game
When shit hits the fans now we'll know who to blame
He's out of time and old
For him we must pray
For if he should die, in comes the big CIA
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
At the convention he show his hand
He plays a small part just to act in command
I looked in his eyes, looked right past his face
A contest means money but a race means a race
He's honest and he means well so now we must pay
For if he should die, in comes the big CIA
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
He promised the world to be president
He could feed our poor ones with what he has spent
To those who’re not lazy, jobs he will bring
But poverty and wealth they to him are the same
He’s wise beyond my years
Make time what you say
For if he should die
In comes the Bush CIA
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Was in black and white on my colour TV
He was a big star in a football game
When shit hits the fans now we'll know who to blame
For him we must pray
For if he should die, in comes the big CIA
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
He plays a small part just to act in command
I looked in his eyes, looked right past his face
A contest means money but a race means a race
For if he should die, in comes the big CIA
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
He could feed our poor ones with what he has spent
To those who’re not lazy, jobs he will bring
But poverty and wealth they to him are the same
Make time what you say
For if he should die
In comes the Bush CIA
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika

I love this song, Mitch's unique speech rhythm and pronunciation give it such an ironic connotation.
And he was right with the last refrain, "For if he should die/In comes the Bush CIA".
