    Lyrics:
    Deviate to contemplate
    This audio visual opiate
    One hundred years from now
    Title fights and human rights
    We're satellites, you're parasites
    Hey yah ya
    Now I've got to tell you that I've been down
    Down so low that I bit the ground
    Let's hear it from the heart of America
    Ya da dee yeh yeh ee oh
    Ya da dee yeh yeh ee ah
    Ya da dee yeh ah
    In Americ urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei eh!
    Urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei USA (for America)
    Where's the peace and understanding?
    Go drum, go dance, sound on sound
    All this peace and understanding
    Go drum, go dance, round and round
    In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah
    A pocket full of posies and cheap scented roses
    Every house should have it's hat on
    So in and out and round and round,
    Up and down and lost and found
    Hey ah ha
    Magazines and gasoline
    And made in Taiwan Western scenes
    Will you hear us in the heart of America?
    Ya da dee yeh yeh ee oh
    Ya da dee yeh yeh ee ah
    Ya da dee yeh ah
    In Americ urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei eh!
    Urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei USA (for America)
    Where's the peace and understanding?
    Go drum, go dance, sound on sound
    All this peace and understanding
    Go drum, go dance, round and round
    In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah in America
    Na na ne na ne na na
    Ya da dee yeh yeh ee ah
    Ya da dee yeh ah
    In Americ urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei eh!
    Urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei USA (for America)
    Where's the peace and understanding?
    Go drum, go dance, sound on sound
    All this peace and understanding
    Go drum, go dance, round and round (for America)
    Where's the peace and understanding?

      @@extremelynormalperson I feel the same way. It's hard to explain, but it kind if evokes an image of a parent seeing what has become of their child (both good and bad). I know it's not a good analogy because in some sense we were the invaders of the land, not children of the land, but idk that superposition makes a powerful symbol for some reason

    I loved this song when it first came out in '86. It hasn't dated either & the Red Box sound is still sounding fresh as it ever was. This updated version, with a really rather brilliant sign of the times video to go with it too, is just wonderful. I was 26 back then & New York was top of my destinations from London. I had so much fun but the times were so different to now. Thanks Red Box for this fantastic gem. We all deserve it!!!

    That wistful refrain just popped in my head for no reason, and I haven't heard the song for yonks, it's such a clever, catchy and thoughtful song with a hint of Celtic, and the updated video just shows how relevant it still is. Typical of great pop songs in the 80s and 90s it is intelligent and melodic, and distinct. In the mould of Tears for Fears, Prefab Sprout, etc.

    I was searching for this song! I'm British (I know, I didn't get the best lottery card in life) but my grandmother moved to California in 1960, and I have two American uncles. I've visited many times, mostly the West and East coasts, but I did once go to Iowa on a business trip (that was strange). Anyway, I've just been reading all the 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain, I'd recommend them, and I just wanted to say I love the US. You're fabulous people.

    Where's the peace and understanding? Where indeed? I'd love this to be played at the protests. I always thought of the song as not just a pisstake of the vulgar but also an homage to the reasonable and great parts of American culture. Maybe I read it wrong but the sheer catchiness and fantastic harmonies seemed a nod to the very best of west coast music.

      Was satirical and an answer to the record company execs who wanted a hit written for the US market, so they wrote this because they could, they didn't want to.

    Good Work..but still waiting for a new Album...do I miss something in 2017? "The Circle & and the Square" was fantastic, I think much better than the later releasd "Graceland"

    Thank you very much for this video. It's simply fascinating to see all of this: the problems of the our common world, politics, economy, culture, philosophy, ethnic conficts, celebrations, hapiness, protests, hate and love, progress and ancient traditions, One flag and many peoples, Founding Fathers of stone, and meme-president of internet, great modern cities and old, but not forgotten glory of the Wild West. All in one wideo. Truly Magnificent.
