Our ‘Les Paul’s’ (The Paul’s) just released new song Scared of America is not meant to be anti-American but it just depicts how America looks to a Brit across the pond who has never been there and if you listen to the full track HERE you’ll hear that the last 2 lines of the final chorus are, ‘ Where would we be without you America, God bless, America!
We tried to get that Bowie spirit and sound in the song although it’s not exactly the same as his ‘I’m Afraid of American’s’ song from his 1997 album ‘Earthlings’, it is more contemporary and you can watch the video promo HERE.

Scared of America Lyrics
Scared of America
I’m scared of America
That Alpha Male
I’m scared of America
With that sting in it’s tail
I stepped on a compass
And found myself here
On a bus in Vegas
An American nightmare
I’m scared of America
It’s too big for me
I’m scared of America
Trapped in the ‘Land of The Free’
Corruption on Capitol Hill
Discrimination way down south
So many are ready to kill
You’d better not open your mouth
I’m scared of America
Moma’s got a gun
I’m scared of America
And so has her son
Jesus was American
So Hollywood maintains
Maybe he was Mexican
That sneaked in on the train
Follow the American Dream
Do the John Wayne walk
Gotta have plenty of Greens
Coz here money talks, money talks, money talks
I’m scared of America
I know you couldn’t care less
Where would we be without you
America, God bless, America
Paul Robert Thomas

In contrary to the initial Reverbnation.com release, however, adding the last 8th verse is considered as a very thoughtful move forward – looking ahead and up “people shall always believe in something”, as “there are always much more good people than others” …
The released then this lyric has even an impact on me, provoking the immediate friendly response to our “reverbnation fan-ship”, Paul, so, remember, I have even reacted with a joke (delayed for better days to come) –
“I never dreamed about Britain
1
I never dreamed about Britain
And, really, for what I should
Empire’s alive and manages stuff
On continents all over globe …”

– Found some fun in it, cause I am here (without greeny money) – you’re there (and with yellow submarine) –
