The east coast is a woman   The mid-west is a man   And the west coast is the baby   They will never understand   And the south is where it   Wants to be   And america is hard to see      California's on the left   And maine is on the right   Santa fe stays up all day   And chicago goes all night   Seattle's full of coffee   Boston's full of beans   And america is hard to see      First they saw it offshore   Then they took pictures from the moon   They haven't drawn it lifesize   But it's gonna happen soon   And you could watch ten years   Of court tv   To know   America is hard to see      And I sing this from my vantage point   Up here in the stars   And all I see is empty spaces   And cities full of cars   I'd change it all but   It's not up to me   Cos america is hard to see
