(Come on in, sit right down, and fill up your pockets, yeah)

Mass-media, information overload
信息流爆炸的都市
Welcome to America
这就是美国
(The following message brought to you by Datacom)
(数据通信将一连串的讯息发给你)
Distracted by the features of the iPhone
被你的iphone上的一则则噱头分散心神
(Got an application for each of situation)
拼死拼活 为了每一份证书而奋斗
In other words, taken by a pretty face
或者说是入赘千金 不用再继续劳累

Hook up later at the iPad
借着ipad的便捷通讯

Welcome to America
Welcome to America
Welcome to America
美国
Where everything and nothing that Google says is hip
一个满地金银又一片狼藉的被谷歌说是时髦的一个地方

我们不会动动嘴唇
We will not raise your taxes
就暴涨你的税务
Read our lips
欢迎来到美国
Welcome to America (America)
来到这个五彩缤纷的大秀场
Welcome to the big show (to America)
每个人都在追求着什么
Everybody's looking for something
但这里早已人满为患水泄不通
When there ain't no place to go
这里是美国
(Welcome to America)
外表光鲜内在不堪的地方
Except inside America (America)
这点我很清楚
That's the only place I know (to America)
这里的改变日新月异，机会转瞬即逝
Transformation happens deep within: yes or no?
Yes
来到美国
Welcome to America
最好的活儿之一 那就是jazz！
One of our greatest exports was a thing called jazz
在当今的音乐界
You think today's music will last?
他就是无敌的存在
(Dismantle all monopolies
没有音乐可以比拟jazz
Dismantle all monopolies)
在美国
Welcome to America
Welcome
希望和改变在这里一直都持续着
Hope and change, everything takes forever
但真理只是少数人的真理
And truth is a new minority (truth)
哦！还是欢迎你来到美国
Oh, welcome to America
Welcome to America
现在我们想改变当下的处境 打算着完善教育系统
Today we'd like to discuss America's plan to fix the educational system
对誓言的忠诚会一直流传下去
The pledge of allegiance will now read as follows:
我对于美国的忠诚向着宇宙宣誓
I pledge allegiance to the earth of the United States of the Universe
Welcome to America
在这里没什么好争辩的
There is no arguing with the book
当我计划着去学新东西时
(When am I gonna learn something new?)
书籍上的东西都正确无误
There is no arguing with the book
（谁会把知识教授给我呢？你吗？）
(Who's gonna teach it to me, you?)
一切是那么正确
There is no arguing with the book
在我窗外的景象是什么？
(What's that outside my window sill?)
是晴空万里 是自由
There is no (could it be?) arguing (our free will?)
你我都持着不同意见 但这里是自由和平和爱的地方（会包容我们的difference）
You say yes, I say no, yet love flows
对于女性来说 这是个富有着良机的地方
America can provide many opportunities for the young female who wishes to work (for the state)
她们也为了有一天可以脱离这个阶层而努力着
For her own advancement up from the underclass to become one
Welcome to America
先从上学做起再慢慢成为一个名流
Go to school to become a celebrity
（声 名 远 扬）
(F.A.M.O.U.S.)
但不要成名太迟
But don't be late
不然你过去的恶臭绯闻将会散布到每个人手中去
And everybody and they mama got a sex tape
Welcome to America
我们掠夺着他人的钱财
We snatch bass players, not purses
任由这个社会变得更糟
Keep playing, it gets worse
大言不惭地入住救济所
Land of the free, home of the brave
哦...当然是....
Oops, I mean
这块贫瘠的就像是奴隶们的庇护所
Land of the free, home of the slave
向我俯首称臣屈膝下跪吧
Get down on your knees, hit me
美国啊
Welcome to America
欢迎来到这个大舞台
Welcome to the big show
每个人都各怀所愿
Everybody's looking for something
但这里早已摩肩接踵车水马龙
When there ain't no place to go
背后更是腐朽破败
Except inside America
这就是我知道的美国
That's the only place I know
一场场变革无时无刻不在进行 是屈膝还是挺直腰板？
Transformation happens deep within: yes or no?
