Buy, Buy American Pie - Capitol Steps

Buy, Buy American Pie Lyrics

a long time ago we used to get out food homegrown
and toothpaste used to make you smile
it used to be you'd shop with ease
never eating antifreeze
you'd plan to keep on living quite awhile
but now our goods are all devliered
from somewhere on thye yangtze river
no one knows the source there
so you'd might find some horse hair
but if corporations make a buck
they don't give a flying... peking duck
and with this system we get stuck today
it makes you sigh
now when you buy, buy an american pie
your grandma didn't bake it

it was made in shanghai
where they engineering the applues to be juicy not dry
but the crust is made of cardboard and lye
don't feed it to your dog, he might die
now you eat a tastykake
and did it make you stomahce ache
i could have said "I told you so"
and the reason you are looking wan
is some guy took bribes in sichuan
so you just bit into little Debbie's toe
and now the toys you bought from fisher price
have toxins deemed unsafe for mice
and elmo tends to wheeze
'cause he's laced with PCB's
in spite of all my problems seen so far
when I see my cheap new DVR
I'll even brush me teeth with tar and you will see
that I'll buy, buy from some young guy
I drive a chevy and its heavy
but the price is too high
soon twenty bucks will buy a car from shanghaii
and honey that'll be the day we all die
