Golden arches risin’ above the next overpass
These horizons are endless
We’re Americans abroad
We’re Americans abroad
Profit driven expansion into foreign markets
And while I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
Said, while I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
This is the best summer that I’ve ever had
European vacation – me and my best friends
We’re Americans abroad
We’re Americans abroad
Whatever there is to be said is said in English
While I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
Said, while I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
Here we are, a rock band looking for new audiences
Wherever we go, Coca-Cola’s already been
We’re Americans abroad
We’re Americans abroad
And I just can’t help but think that that’s comparison
While I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
While I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
While I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
While I hope I’m not like them, I’m not so sure
I’m not so sure, I’m not so sure, I’m not so sure
