We're the best, we're the best
We're much greater than the rest
We all drive the biggest cars
And we consume to great excess
We've got Vegas and Times Square
And the most advanced health care
We can't cure the sick and dying
But we spend the most in trying
We take care of those who fail
We just build another jail
So there's always room for any we arrest
If you're not A-okay, we just put you away
We're the best, we're the best, we're the best

We're the best, we're the best
You can't fail to be impressed
We are working longer hours
And we're dressing for success
Earn a wage, spend it twice
It's a workers' paradise
Well-paid jobs in Carolina
That's until they move to China
Never mind, you'll still work
You will make a fine sales clerk
Just keep spending and you'll think you have progressed
At Walmart you'll afford it 'cause it's all imported
We're the best, we're the best, we're the best

We're the best, we're the best
Number one in world conquest
We've got bombers, we've got bases
From Riyadh to Budapest
Better do what we say
We must always have our way
If we can't win with our forces
We'll just buy up your resources
No expense do we spare
We throw dollars everywhere
Though they're backed by very little, we confess
All hale the world's trendsetter and its biggest debtor
We're the best, we're the best, we're the best

Leader of the free world
With our Disneyland and Sea World
No wonder we're the envy of mankind
Hundreds of cable channels we can choose from
Which proves that our democracy works fine
And regarding your religion
It's another free decision
We offer many different points of view
But Americans hold one belief in common:
God wants all men to be brothers
But God likes Americans more than others

We're the best, we're the best
We're the land that God has blessed
He's appointed us the master
Of the earth we now possess
Keep acquiring all you can
It's all part of God's great plan
Let your jobs be your obsessions
He'll reward you with possessions
Just enjoy what you've bought
Never have a second thought
And don't ever ask just why you feel depressed
Get up and wave your flag
And grab your shopping bag
Say we're the best, we're the best, we're the best
