In America

Written by Douglas Firestein

“The AIDS epidemic is sweeping through America.”

Hear the stories
In the evening news
Meant to scare
The nightly viewers

People wearing masks
Fearing the common man
What is ravaging
Our promised land?

Look over your shoulder
Look out for your self
Didn’t see it coming
Now it’s threatening our health

Man in your ass
Needle in your arm
Living your life
Having some fun
It don’t apply to me
I avoid the disdain
If I was gay … I’d have AIDS

Aids in America
(America, America)
Aids in America
(America, America)
It’s an epidemic
Sweeping the world
I’ll stick to the clean girls

Narrow minded
Points of view
Watch your step
It could happen to you

Suckas be infected
Still spreadin’ seed
I weld nails to my knuckles
Gonna make them bleed

Look over your shoulder
Look out for your self
It don’t care if you’re poor
Or born into wealth

Man in your ass
Needle in your arm
Living your life
Having some fun
It don’t apply to me
I avoid the disdain
If I was gay … I’d have AIDS

Aids in America
(America, America)
Aids in Americaica
(America, America)
It’s an epidemic
Affecting all people
I’ll stick to the clean needles

There ain’t no cure
But we hope there might be
Suckas try to get it
So they can avoid me!

Aids in America
(America, America)
Aids in America
(America, America)
It’s an epidemic
Affecting us all
Hope you don’t die tomorrow
