“I don’t need your war machines, I don’t need your ghetto scenes.”

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come a-hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more

I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes

Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Song quotes from “American Woman”, 1970. Writers: Burton Cummings, Garry Peterson, Jim Kale, Randy Bachman. Recorded by Canadian band The Guess Who
