51st State (BBC In Concert 5th Nov 1990) - New Model Army

Look out of your windows, watch the skies

Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes

Were W.A.S.P.s, 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 opportunity

Watch US revel in our liberty

You can say what you like

But it doesn’t change anything

'Cos the corridors of power

Are an ocean away

We’re the 51st state of America
