With apology to Bruce Willis... <br /> <br />we don't wrap our women up in burkas, <br />we like bikinis on the beach, <br />we invented hula hoops and frisbees, <br />we tolerate what anyone may preach, <br />we got chicken in every pot, <br />cars in every parking lot, <br />that's what makes America cool, you know? <br /> <br />we can only smoke cigarettes on the street, <br />we strap our babies down in a car seat, <br />if you come here you will learn, <br />we're cautious at every turn, <br />every chick and dude knows all about health food, <br />we play rock and roll with attitude, <br />that's what makes America cool, you know? <br /> <br />for the most part we win the wars we fight, <br />for the most part we know wrong from right, <br />we got sports and movies on our t.v. <br />twenty- four seven, sea to shining sea, <br />the casinos here are ace, <br />we handle our toxic waste, <br />that's what makes America cool, you know? <br /> <br />Lots of people sneak into our country, <br />Very few people try to sneak away, <br />pretty soon, we'll be back on the moon, <br />if you say we can't, you'll soon change your tune, <br />there ain't nothing we can't do, <br />Man, we're the red, white, and blue, <br />that's what makes America, cool, you know? <br />That's what makes America cool.<br /><br />Richard Jarboe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-s-what-makes-america-cool-you-know/
