Elvis Ate America - U2, performing as Passengers
Elvis...white trash,
Elvis...the Memphis flash,
Elvis...didn't smoke hash,
Would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash.
Elvis...didn't dodge the draft,
Elvis...had his own aircraft,
Elvis...having a laugh,
On the Lisa Marie in a colour photograph.
Elvis...under the hood,
Elvis...with Cadillac blood,
Elvis...darling bud,
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud.
Elvis...ain't gonna rot,
Elvis...in a Memphis plot,
Elvis...he didn't hear the shot,
And Dr. King died just across the lot from...
Elvis...vanilla ice cream,
Elvis...girls of fourteen,
Elvis...the Memphis spleen,
Shooting TVs reading Corinthians 13.
Elvis...with God on his knees,
Elvis...owned three TVs,
Elvis...here come the killer bees,
Head full of honey potato chips and cheese.
Elvis...the bumper stickers,
Elvis...the white knickers,
Elvis...the white nigger,
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger.
Elvis...sang to win,
Elvis...the battle hymn,
Elvis...the battle to be slim,
Elvis ate America before America ate him.
Elvis...
Elvis...stamps.
Elvis...necromance.
Elvis...fans.
Elvis...psychophants.
Elvis...the public enemy.
Elvis...don't mean shit to Chuck D.
Elvis...changed the center of gravity,
Made it slippy.
Elvis...Hitler.
Elvis...Nixon.
Elvis...Christ.
Elvis...Mishima.
Elvis...Markus.
Elvis...Jackson.
Elvis...the pelvis.
Elvis...the psalmist.
Elvis...the genius.
Elvis...generous.
Elvis...forgive us.
Elvis...pray for us.
Elvis...Aaron.
Elvis...Presley.
Elvis...
