Elvis Ate America
Music by U2, Brian Eno, and Howie B
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
This is just a funny song, so if you must play it, play around in B flat minor.
Elvis...
White trash
The Memphis flash
Didn't smoke hash
Would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash
Didn't dodge the draft
Had his own aircraft
Having a laugh
On the Lisa Marie in a colour photograph
Under the hood
With Cadillac blood
Darling bud
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud
Ain't gonna rot
In a Memphis plot
He didn't hear the shot
And Dr. King died just across the lot from...
Vanilla ice cream
Girls of 14
The Memphis spleen
Shooting TV's reading Corinthians 13
With GOD on His kness
Owned 3 TVs
Here come the killer bees
Head full of honey, potato chips and cheese
The bumper stickers
The white kickers
The white nigger
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger
Sang to win
The battle hymn
The battle to be slim
Elvis ate America before America ate him
Stamps
Necromance
Fans
Psychophants
The public enemy
Don't mean a shit to Chuck D
Changed the center of gravity
Made it slippy
Hitler
Nixon
Christ
Mishima
Markus
Jackson
The pelvis
The psalmist
The genius
Generous
Forgive us
Pray for us
