[Chorus]

Я гражданин Боря

And I pledge allegiance

To my new land, America

Goodbye my old passport

I never loved you

Passport, brochure


[Bridge 1]

Green card, lottery, immigration

Packing dread and jubilation

Fly across the ocean

Jury duty, income taxes

Voting in all local elections

If the army needs me, I will die


[Verse 2]

How many representatives in congress?

Four-hundred thirty-five

What is the capital of your state?

It depends on where you live

Who wrote the Star-Spangled Banner?

[Chorus]

Я гражданин Боря

And I pledge allegiance

To my new land, America

Goodbye my old passport

I never loved you

Passport, brochure


[Bridge 2]

Cats and dogs and aunts and uncles

Leave behind the loves and insults

Six months of ESL

Jury duty, income taxes

Voting in all local elections

I can never be the president


[Verse 3]

Who said, “give me liberty or give me death?”

Patrick Henry

Who elects the Congress?

The people

What is the duty of the Supreme Court?

To interpret the laws

Can you name the original thirteen states?

Connecticut, New York, Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania

Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maryland, Delaware

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and—

Um, uh— oh! New Jersey!


[Chorus]

Я гражданин Боря

And I pledge allegiance

To my new land, America

Goodbye my old passport

I never loved you

Passport, brochure
