51st State

New Model Army · History: The Best Of New Model Army [2007]

Look out of your windows, watch the skies

Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes

We're W.A.S.Ps, proud American sons

We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun



We're the 51st state of America



Our star-spangled Union Jack flutters so proud

Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd

Tip your hat to the Yankee conqueror

We've got no reds under the bed with guns under our pillows



We're the 51st state of America



Here in the land of opportunities, watch us revel in our liberty

You can say what you like but it doesn't change anything

Because the corridors of power are an ocean away



We're the 51st state of America
