When they sent his coffin home, my mother said. Is America dead ? Dead ? Is Frankenstein or Jerry Rubin, or who will be our president ? Whos gonna be our president ? Will it be teenage girls in the Senate. Will it be sparc change freaks in the White House ? Whos gonna be in the house of congress ? Dwarfs and midgets ?

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 Americas dead, you know, and you can stay in our country. What do you mean ? Yeah, you can stay in our country. And well, we dont have toilets or electricity or vitamins, but man, thats all right. I am it, and you are it, and she is it, and that is that.
