C F
Well I packed my bags in the land of rags, 'Cos I don't believe in them dimmo drags
G C
Don't wanna vote for the left wing, don't wanna vote for the right, I gotta have both to make me fly
C F
Just a whitey from Blighty heading out west, got my little green card and my bulletproof vest
G C F C G
Going to old tube city, where the buzz is the best, on down the line, down the line
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C F
Well I was born and I was raised. I was schooled and I was fazed
G C F C G
And I was used and I was dazed, just had to split, 'cos I was crazed
C F
Well I remember all the good times me and Miller enjoyed, up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
G
But the future has to change and to change, I've got to destroy
C
Oh, look out Lennon, here I come, land ahoy-hoy-hoy
[Chorus]

All American Alien Boy. All American Alien Boy

G F C
Don't look down, put your feet on the ground, don't drown in the big aquarium
G F C
Don't walk slow, put on a big show, shove your meat down vegetarians
G
Don't get slugged, get mugged, get bugged or, they'll sling you in the jug
C
Shove you under some rug, give you some drug, pull out the plug and then
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C
And they're telling me this hamburger's cheaper than the other
And this television's cheaper than the other
F
And they're selling me hot dogs cheaper than the other
And these pizzas cheaper than the other
G C
And I don't understand all this, I'm just an All American Alien Boy
[Verse 4]
C
And they're telling me rifles are shot in Connecticut
They're telling me pistols are shot in Westchester
F
You can get a Saturday night special on Flatbush
On the Bowery, or the Bronx, or on 42nd Street
G C
And I don't understand all this, being an All American Alien Boy
[Verse 5]
C
I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts, my head's full of ulcers
F
I got lungs full of butts, my heart wants a transplant
It thinks that I'm nuts, my logic won't open, my eyes won't shut
G C
And I'm beginning to dig all this, being an All American Alien Boy
[Verse 6]
C
And your women are always right, they always know so much more
F
'Cos the women came from heaven and the men came outta some store
G
And they don't know who they are and they don't know what they're for
C
Well I'm an All American Alien Boy, look out Mary Tyler Moore
