postcards from richard nixon

Singer:elton john

we heard richard nixon say

welcome to the usa

the common sense i sometimes lack

has opened up a seismic crack

we've fallen in and i can't pull back

and i guess we'll have to stay

in open arms we put our trust they put us on a big red bus

twin spirits soaking up a dream

fuel to feed the press machine

after years that were long and lean

we're finally on our way

and richard nixon's on his knees he's sent so many overseas

he'd like to know if you and me could help him in some way

a little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do

a small diversion caused by two

pale kids come to play

and we heard richard nixon say welcome to the usa"
