There's a rainbow on Sunset Boulevard
Made of tears from Hollywood
People praying for their green card
Pay to play, work for food
Only in America...

Swear allegiance every morning
It's another sunny day
Well, it's murder on the freeway
Someone's life gets blown away
There's a pirate on the radio
There's a preacher on TV
Call the CIA, Big Daddio
Tell the White House I'll be free
Only in America...
Tijuana 'cross the border
Eat the worm, see paradise
Education in Las Vegas
Cut the cards and roll the dice
People come to California
And they aim to do it right
Every waitress a performer
You'll be famous overnight
Only in America...
