Guilty 'till proven innocent
I'm thinking about the government
Wondering where the money went
Into outer space, I guess
Lying cs's everywhere
Pretty boys in their underwear
Statue of liberty
Who really cares
About freedom

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Throw up, throw down
Get yourself a better town
All these towns look the same
Self pity, number one recreation
We're dying in the usa
Preacher man, he keeps
Preachin'
While he covets your wife
I ain't sayin' what's good
I ain't sayin' what's right

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv

Wait a minute, let me check my tan
Am I the same color as superman?
Helter skelter in a foreign land
Monkeys versus dogs
Lying under a big palm tree
With cream and bananas all over me
That's the way it's supposed to be
Here in the garden of eden

Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin' about l-u-v baby, luv
