Original	Versione italiana da Radio Clash
I'M SO BORED WITH THE U.S.A.	NON NE POSSO PIÙ DEGLI STATI UNITI

Yankee soldier	Soldato yankee
He wanna shoot some skag	Vorrebbe spararsi un po' della roba
He met it in Cambodia	Che ha conosciuto in Cambogia
But now he can't afford a bag	Ma adesso non può permettersi una busta

Yankee dollar talk	Messaggio del dollaro yankee
To the dictators of the world	Ai dittatori del mondo
In fact it's giving orders	In realtà sta emanando ordini
An' they can't afford to miss a word	E loro non possono permettersi di perdere una parola

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...	Non ne posso più degli Stati Uniti
But what can I do?	Ma che ci posso fare?

Yankee detectives	Investigatori yankee
Are always on the TV	Continuamente in Tv
'Cos killers in America	Perché in America gli assassini
Work seven days a week	Lavorano sette giorni su sette

Never mind the stars and stripes	Freghiamocene delle stelle e striscie
Let's print the Watergate Tapes	Pubblichiamo i nastri del Watergate
I'll salute the New Wave	Darò il benvenuto alla nuova onda
And I hope nobody escapes	E spero che nessuno si salvi

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...	Non ne posso più degli Stati Uniti
But what can I do?	Ma che ci posso fare?

Move up Starsky [1]	Fuori dai piedi Starsky
For the C.I.A.	Per la CIA
Suck on Kojak [2]	Fottiti Kojak
For the USA	Per gli Stati Uniti

[1] Starsky and Hutch was a popular US 70’s cop show featuring two “rule-breaking” macho dudes, who wore hip clothes, kept their hair long and drove around in a fast car. [2] Kojak was another ‘70’s US cop show of reknown. It starred actor/singer Telly Savalas as a suave, bald cop who loved to suck on lollipops and personified the headstrong and brash New York City where his story was set.
