America! America! America! America!
You are so grand and gold, golden
Oh I wish I was deep in America tonight

America! America!
I watch David Letterman in Australia
Oh America!
You are so grand and gold, golden
I wish I was on the next flight to America

Captain Kristofferson
Buck Sergeant Newbury
Leatherneck Jones
Sergeant Cash
What an army, what an air force, what a marines
America!
I never served for my country
America! America!

Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran, Native American
America!
Well everyone’s allowed a past they don’t care to mention
America! America!

Well it’s hard to rouse a hog in delta
And it can get tense around the Bible belt
America! America!

All the lucky suckle teat
Others chaw pig knuckle meat
Ain’t enough teat, ain’t enough teat, ain’t enough teat
Ain’t enough teat, ain’t enough teat, ain’t enough to eat 
In America
America! America!
In America.

I asked the experimental performance and music artist Frédéric Bernier’s if he would like to make a performance for the opening night of my show at Benoit LeCarpentier. He agreed and here is a video I put together of the event. The video clips are from Yair Barelli, Frédéric Bernier, and myself.

Frédéric’s performance is entitled ’How the east was defeated and when the past was the south’. The show entitled ‘How the west was won’ runs from 10sep to 29oct 2011.
