America
Exploring the American Dream: An Ode and Critique
Lyrics
Don't you forget
Reminder not to forget something important
To fill out the form
Instruction to complete a form
In America
Emphasis on the context being America
Might take a while
Implication that processes in America may take time
It's a bit of a yawn
Describing something as boring or uninteresting
In America
Reiteration of the setting as America
McDonald's and subway
Listing popular American fast food chains
A burger and chips
Specific mention of a typical American meal
In America
Reaffirming the American context
Kentucky fried chicken
Expressing enjoyment or satisfaction with a particular food item
Makes you lick your lips
Continuation of positive food associations with America
Ooh America
Expressing admiration or excitement for America
Blue sky and golden sands
Portraying positive aspects of America – blue sky and golden sands
Ooh America
Reiteration of positive feelings towards America
Ooh America to visit your promised land
Expressing the desire to visit America as a promised land
America high buildings
Describing the architectural landscape of America
Stars and stripes
Mentioning iconic American symbols – stars and stripes
Ooh America
Reaffirmation of positive sentiments towards America
Donald Trump and baby wipes
Referencing a political figure – Donald Trump
You can have a gun
Highlighting the freedom to possess firearms in America
And be real brave
Linking having a gun with bravery in America
In America
Reiteration of being in America and referencing American values
Keep it in the bedroom
Instructions to keep something safe in a specific location
They're perfectly safe
Assurance of safety in keeping a particular item in America
In America
Reiteration of willingness to comply with instructions in America
Whatever you say
Expression of agreement or compliance in an American context
I'll obviously do
Commitment to follow instructions in America
In America
Continuation of expressing compliance with rules in America
Follow the rules
Encouragement to follow established rules in America
I'll be just like you
Expressing a desire to conform to societal norms in America
Ooh America
Reiteration of positive feelings towards America
Blue sky and golden sands
Positive portrayal of natural elements in America
Ooh America
Reiteration of the desire to visit America as a promised land
Ooh America to visit your promised land
Reaffirmation of positive sentiments towards America
America high buildings
Describing the architectural landscape of America
Stars and stripes
Mentioning iconic American symbols – stars and stripes
Ooh America
Reiteration of positive feelings towards America
Donald Trump and baby wipes
Repetition of referencing a political figure – Donald Trump
