<poem>
American queen is the American dream
American queen is the American dream

She is a Polish girl in America
Tall, tanned, hot blonde called Anya
I asked her "Why would you
Wanna be a Hollywood wife?"
"Because I don't wanna end up living
At a dive on Vine, a dive on Vine"

Air hostesses doing gossip magazine
Crosswords on a flight to JFK
Thirty-nine years old with a mile high sheen
Trying to stimulate a mind
That is slowly starting to decay
I itch my skin, I jump up and say
"Lady, I know why your thoughts turn grey"

Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh
Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

A tight security making plays for me
Soon as I touch down in oh LA
He said "Oh my God! You look just like
Shakira - no no, you're Catherine Zeta"
"Actually, my name's Marina"
Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
You're looking for the golden life

Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

American dream is the American queen
American queen is the American dream
Is the American dream

Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh

Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh
I've been living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, oh ooh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

American queen is the American dream

American queen is the American dream

She is a Polish girl in America

Tall, tanned, hot blonde called Anya

I asked her "Why would you

Wanna be a Hollywood wife?"

"Because I don't wanna end up living

At a dive on Vine"

You'd do anything for a dime

You're looking for the golden life

Hollywood infected your brain

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh

Living in a movie scene

Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

A tight security making plays for me

Soon as I touch down in oh LA

He said "Oh my God! You look just like

Shakira - no no, you're Catherine Zeta"

"Actually, my name's Marina"

Your mind is just like mine

All filled up with things benign

You're looking for the golden life

Hollywood infected your brain

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh

I've been living in a movie scene

Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, ooh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

American dream is the American queen

American queen is the American dream

Is the American dream

Hollywood infected your brain

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh

I've been living in a movie scene

Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh

Hollywood infected your brain

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh ohh

I've been living in a movie scene

Puking American dreams, oh oh oh, ohh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America, oh ooh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
