["texas man murdered during test drive, while trying to sell car."]

“Only in America”
By Grand Rapids Anonymous

“Only in America”
By Jay and the Americans
Written by the Brill Building team (until I rewrote it)

Only in America,
Can a muslim from iraq,
Meet his fate in texas,
Shot dead by a mexican.

Only in America,
Can a man who has no sense,
Stay inside his basement,
And still end up President.

(Chorus)
Only in America,
Land of mass insanity,
Would a post-op transgender,
Think, they were somehow like ME.

Only in America,
Can a black who fights a cop,
Be declared a hero,
This sh*t—it just will not stop.

Only in America,
Will the Whites without a clue,
Learn some life’s hard lessons,
From this great site, N-S-U?

(Chorus)
Only in America,
We’ll just have to wait and see,
Do we take back our country?
The question’s for you and for me.

Only in America,
Only in America,
Only in America,
Only in America.

(End)
