It's a long fast dance
Well the long fast dance of progress
And the long slow waltz of decay
Made such a natural born couple
They settled down right here in the USA
Dream home for two in the USA
Hot jazz, cool blues, we got country
We get rock and roll all day
Like to dance, come on down get funky
That's the way, that's the way
That's the way hey, hey in the USA
There's still cowboys and indians at home on the range
But the cowboys and indians have changed - they've changed
We've got James Dean on the silver screen
We've got James Brown he won't let you down
Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll
We got preacher men who want to save your soul
Got the motorcity with the Motown beat
Get hip to the beat on the hip hop street
Stars and bars and the biggest cars
And a rocket ship take you up to Mars
There's the east coast trip where it's real uptight
Where you work all day and you play all night
And the west coast side with the laid back scene
When you just lay back and it seems like a dream
There's a lot of places in between
There's Hollywood and the city by the bay
And the whole damn south down Louisiana way, way, way
That's the way, that's the way hey, hey in the USA
There's still cowboys and indians at home on the range
But the cowboys and indians have changed, the've changed
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
The cowboys and cowgirls and indians have changed
Baby, baby, baby
That's the way, that's the way in the USA
Cowboys and indians...
Home on the range...
The lyrics COWBOYS AND INDIANS of THE CROSS is also present in the album Shove it (1988)
The Cross è stato un gruppo musicale rock britannico attivo dal 1987 al 1993. Fondato dal batterista dei Queen Roger Taylor, il progetto nacque come una collaborazione parallela ai Queen, con l'obiettivo di esplorare sonorità più sperimentali e meno commerciali. Il sound del gruppo si caratterizzava per un mix di hard rock, progressive rock e influenze psichedeliche, con testi spesso introspettivi e poetici. Tra i membri fondatori figuravano anche il chitarrista Pete Newdeck, il bassista Phil Chen e il cantante/chitarrista Jason Bonham (figlio del leggendario batterista John Bonham dei Led Zeppelin). The Cross ha pubblicato due album in studio: "The Cross" (1988) e "Mad, Bad and Beautiful" (1990), entrambi accolti positivamente dalla critica. Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 1993 a causa di divergenze creative e personali. Alcuni brani rappresentativi includono "Power to Believe", "I'm Not Your Man" e "The Way You Make Me Feel".
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
