Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains majesties
Above the fruited plain
-- Katharine Lee Bates "America the Beautiful" (1910)
Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
-- Paul Simon "America" (1970)
Oh, can you take care of her
Oh, maybe can you spare her
Several moments of your consideration
Leading up to the final destination
-- Miley Cyrus et al. "Wake up America" (2008)
Us living as we do upside-down
And the new word to have is revolution
People don't even want to hear the preacher
Spill or spiel because God's whole card has been thoroughly piqued
--Kanye West "Who Will Survive in America" (2010)
