Which Way To America Lyrics
I look at the T.V.
Your America's doing well
I look out the window
My America's catching hell
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
I change the channel
Your America's doing fine
I read the headlines
My America's doing time
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
Go west young, go west young man
Don't want to crossover
But how do I keep from going under?
Where is my picket fence?
My long, tall glass of lemonade?
Where is my VCR, my stereo, my T.V. show?
I look at the T.V.
I don't see your America
I look out the window
I don't see your America
I want to know how to get to your America
I want to know how to get to your America
America
Your America's doing well
I look out the window
My America's catching hell
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
Your America's doing fine
I read the headlines
My America's doing time
I just want to know which way do I go to get to your America?
But how do I keep from going under?
My long, tall glass of lemonade?
Where is my VCR, my stereo, my T.V. show?
I don't see your America
I look out the window
I don't see your America
I want to know how to get to your America

Oh, and as for the meaning. I believe that it means that the media portrays America as being so AWESOME but when you look at the sad reality of it instead of taking the media's word for everything, you realise America isn't that great. He wants to get to the America that the media is projecting to us, instead of the real one.
Also, even though it isn't the meaning, Living Colour is from England... just a useless tidbit of information.
Living Colour aren't from England. Vernon Reid grew up there but the band formed in NYC and all members were born in the States.

Beyond that, this song kicks ass. One of their best. Back in 1988 I considered this song a testament to what I felt growing up in the US during the Reagan years. Little did I know the worst was yet to come. ha, ha.
