Thinking Of The USA Lyrics

I'm kicking up dust on an empty street
Waiting for John, Brian and Liz
Already been stopped by the police
They're getting kicks, I'm feeling sick

And I'm thinking, I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA

10.30 and the band is still not on the stage
The kids are getting restless but all have to be paid
I really think that I should not stay
I need a rest, I need a drink

And I'm thinking, yeah thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Thinking of the CIA

12.45 at the Roxy Club
And I'm tired of just hanging around
I need some sleep, I am so tired
All these people making crazy sounds

Thinking, I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Thinking of the SLA

USA, USA, USA, USA

Thinking, I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the CIA

Yeah I'm thinking, I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the SLA

Walter Lure comes from the USA
Lou Reed comes from the USA
Richard Nixon comes from the USA
Gary Gilmore came from the USA

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
