Well, they look to the east, they look to the west 
The third world wonders, which way's the best 
We got freedom, we got soul 
We got blue jeans and Rock 'n' Roll 

Man there ain't no choice 
It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) 
You can be what you want 
Say what you want to say (It's better in the U.S.A.) 

How can I make you understand 
It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) 
I hear the same propaganda, day after day 
It's gettin' so hip, to knock the U.S.A 

If we're so lawful, and we're so bad 
You oughta check the nightlife in Leningrad 
Man it ain't even close 
It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) 

If you could see behind the curtain 
Life is cold and gray (It's better in the U.S.A.) 
How can I make you understand 
It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better, it's better) 

Nobody's perfect and change comes slow 
It's really up to you which way you want to go 
You can move to the left or move to the right 
You can stand in the dark, you can stand in the light 

Drivin' on the beach on a night in June 
Me and me baby and the lover's moon 
We're playin' sweet soul music, got it turned up loud 
Makes me feel so good, makes me feel so proud 

Man there ain't no choice 
It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better in the U.S.A.) 
They'd be movin' here from Moscow 
If they could only find a way (It's better in the U.S.A.) 

How can I make you understand 
It's better in the U.S.A. (It's better) 
We got burgers and fries (In the U.S.A.) 
We got the friendly skies (In the U.S.A.) 

We got the beautiful girls (In the U.S.A.) 
They got the beautiful curls (In the U.S.A.) 
We're drivin' beautiful cars (In the U.S.A.) 
We're diggin' movie stars (In the U.S.A.) 

We get to make romance (In the U.S.A.) 
We let the little girls dance (In the U.S.A.) 
It's better baby. Nice sweater, baby 
What'd you say, you and me go for a little drive? 
Come on
