You're Turning Into John Wayne Lyrics

I've never been to America
It's time that I learned the truth
The truth

Cause I just heard of a rumour
All cultures spread, and then they pollute
They pollute

Please try don't take it personal
Cause I'm only going on the blatant proof

So when I breathe your air
Do you believe you're changing the earth?
Do you believe you're changing the earth?

Welcome to America
They all say
That your dreams can last forever
But your heart can never stay

Why do we imitate
All we love to hate?
So if there's one thing I wanna know
It's how you feel about being American
American

Every time there's a story
I turn around you're turning into John Wayne
You're turning into John Wayne

Now here's a great Scottish theory
Have you lost your latitude and longitude?
Your latitude and longitude

Yeah I know that I'm contradicting
Everything I own is made in the US of A
Made in the USA

So when you breathe your air
Do you believe you're changing the earth?
Do you believe you're changing the earth?

Welcome to America
They all say
That your dreams can last forever
But your heart can never stay

Why do we imitate
All we love to hate?
So if there's one thing I wanna know
It's how you feel about being American
American

You're turning into John Wayne
Are you made in the USA?

Welcome to America
They all say
That your dreams can last forever
But your heart can never stay

Why do we imitate
All we love to hate?
So if there's one thing I wanna know
It's how you feel about being American
American

Now I know the singer has an accent and all, and it's hard to understand what he's saying at times, but I'm almost positive that he's saying, "Is how you feel like being a mannequin." Not American. I mean look at the video, they're acting as mannequins. It has to be.

I'm sorry but the words there are right. The song is about Americanization. It's about America taking other cultures and slashing them, making them their own. This song means what the chorus says. 'Welcome to America They all say That your dreams can last forever. But your heart can never stay'

really; he's saying American. Look at the context, or the song title. Thats just what American sounds like with a Scottish accent.

it says everything i own is make in the us of a . . . its all about how everywhere is turning american, im scottish and its very easy to understand that he is saying american
