In “America Is Not The World” bezingt Morrissey met sarcasme, humor en wanhoop zijn ambivalente gevoelens jegens het land waar hij sinds een paar jaar woont. Er bestaat nog geen videoclip van het nummer. Aan jullie de taak dit recht te zetten.
Nachtpodium zoekt ideeën die de tekst en de muziek op een originele manier visualiseren - dus liever geen expliciete anti-Amerika retoriek, maar eerder beelden die de dubbelzinnige houding ten opzichte van Amerika illustreren of versterken.

AMERICA IS NOT THE WORLD - MORRISSEY

America - your head's too big
Because America - your belly's too big
And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you is: in America

The land of the free, they said,
And of opportunity in a just and a truthful way
But where the president is never black, female or gay
And until that day you've got nothing to say to me to help me believe in America

It brought you the hamburger
Well America, you know where you can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder why in Estonia they say: “Hey you, big fat pig
You fat pig, you fat pig”?

Steely blue eyes with no love in them scan the world,
And a humourless smile with no warmth within greets the world
And I, I have got nothing to offer you
No-no-no-no-no
Just this heart deep and true, which you say you don't need

See with your eyes, touch with your hands, please
Hear through your ears, know in your soul, please
For haven't you me with you now?
And I love you
I love you
I love you
