Chorus:
Ive got a big american problem
Somethin that I cannot solve by myself
Ive got a big american problem
Somethin that I need some help from the shelf
Way down in somalia
Where the starving children play
Where our soldiers are sittin around
Wonderin just what to do with the day
There are many people in the hills
And the hills have eyes
There is someone that waits for me
Like a spider waits for a fly
Chorus:
Ive got a big american problem
Somethin that I cannot solve by myself
Ive got a big american problem
Somethin that I better take off the shelf
In sarajevo, theres lots of people standin
Standin there in the street, waitin for you
Someones comin down to give them the answers
« and if theyd know just what they dont want to do »
Chorus:
Ive got a big american problem
Somethin that I cannot solve by myself
Ive got a big american problem
« wed better take that book from the shelf »
Have you got a big american problem too?
Somethin that you cannot solve by yourself
Have you got a big american problem too?
Somethin that you cannot solve by yourself?
Ive got a big american problem (x4)
A problem! problem! problem! a problem! a problem!
