America... ho sognato l' America...
quella che te la immagini e la trovi nei cinema.
L' America che vorresti raggiungere
quella che ti sà illudere... luci che abbagliano
California che mi ruba dalla vita solita
sogno il meglio che mi dà un' altra realtà
poi l' America che non perde mai
gioca, vince, si ubriaca e tutto ok!
l' occasione di andarci arriverà
anche fuori dal sogno...
per sapere se sentimenti ne esistono laggiù
se l' America un anima ce l'ha o se il sogno è finito.
America... ho sognato dei vicoli
come quelli di Napoli... coi suoi pericoli
America... sogno navi che partono
piene zeppe di giovani che non ritornano.
Sono lame di coltello
in mano a chi vuole i tuoi dollari
gente senza scrupoli che non ha pietà
sogno arance meccaniche e non so
se l' America un' anima ce l'ha
e mi sveglio sudatore non ci sto
a sbagliare anche i sogni
quante vite buttate via laggiù
chi ha scoperto l' America sei tu
l' hai cresciuta soffrendo sempre di più
e non è la tua terra...
