Discover America

Discover America is the second studio album by Van Dyke Parks released by Warner Bros. in 1972. Its sound is a major departure from his debut record, Song Cycle (1967), featuring all cover versions of previously written songs. The album mostly features songs popularized by early Calypso musicians, as well as songs by Allen Toussaint ("Occapella" and "Riverboat"), Little Feat ("Sailin' Shoes"), John Philip Sousa ("Stars and Stripes Forever") and one song of unknown origin ("Be Careful"). The title of the album is derived from the poem "I Am Waiting" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I feel myself getting sick,
When summer ends and school begins.
Oh how the desks begin to dig in my back.
A sad semester encroaches.
All the teachers and the coaches weren't tolerant
Of individuals who made up their own minds.

I made mine too.
Cause I'm through.

Hey! What am I doing here?
I have things to do, there's life outside -
And I'm stuck inside this classroom.

The loners become cops
They grow more lonely in their squad cars.
I find it funny how the all-stars
Are all old and fat.
The cheerleaders have babies,
With houses and husbands.

They should have known.
