Memorable Lyrics:
- "A luscious bitch she is, true"
Complete lyrics at the Motherpage (http://www.duke.edu/~tmc/motherpage/lyrics_funkadelic/lyr-ameats.html#lyr-s-ameats)
This song has largely inscrutable lyrics that seem to be claiming that America is a "bitch" that "suck(s) the brains" of her "great grandsons and daughters."
