David Bowie - I'm Afraid Of Americans Lyrics
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America
No tricks at the wheel
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Nobody needs anyone
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid of Americans
Johnny's in America
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny wants a plane
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
Johnny's in America
Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair
And Johnny wants pussy in cars
Johnny's in America, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's in America, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
God is an American
God is an American
Uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
Yeah, I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the words
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans
Johnny's an American
Johnny's an American
Johnny's an American, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's an American, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh
Johnny's an American, uh-uh-uh uh, uh, uh-uh uh-uh-uh

David Bowie I'm Afraid Of Americans Comments
This reminds me so much of Steel Ball run. But maybe that's just me.
When you're drunk in the back and realize your Uber driver is 😳
Afraid of Americans? I'm more now afraid of "Chinese"
Good. I feed on the fear of others 😂 I love Mr Bowie's intelligent use of irony 😊
I am an American, but I'm afraid of Americans for different reasons..... Still love the song and the collaboration though.
*"No one needs anyone they don't even just to pretend"* I love how random & true that line is.
I heart America
Michael d
He knew he had death sentence
memories :)
Americans and russians are the same now.
Army jacket🚩Run~ good call David👏
Me too.
Trent Reznor was born in Pennsylvania.
David better runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Very cool
Can anyone explain why one should be afraid of Americans - I dont get it. ;-)
I can understand. Im afraid of the americans...
GOD IS AN AMERICAN
who else here from kill count
I came here right after watching the movie
(Swoon)
So sad, David Bowie is so healthy here and now is gone.:(
Invisible guns. Imagine that....
David Bowie is the best. R.I.P. 😭
3:59 SEXY AS HELL
2020 im afraid of Asians
You should be afraid
This isn't the country i grew up in ..thanks to the anointed one. Everyones waiting for it to fall apart.
When scrolling through the comment section you'll find 30 different meanings to one of Bowie's song.
I don't blame you David...Trent's lookin" at you like your his future inspiration for 'Closer'
The entire song he's explaining why he is afraid of other Americans to end the song calling God American.
PS: he is talking about the worship of money being the problem and one true God in the USA.
This song jam's. It's a combination of so many different types of music that it's his own.
You can hear the funk/grunge/electronica/Alt Rock influence. It really can't be classified under any specific genre.
God is NOT an American and the rest of the world needs to be terrified of the current Administration!
Truly creepy STILL 😎🤘💀😉💖
I'm afraid of asparagus...
A groundhog brought me here. 02.02.20 20
I scare myself too MANS A MONSTER
:_) pretty sure bowie and reznor were great friends, and this vid is just that, creatively helping each other, despite differences (this case, musical differences, what they make). i love them both dearly and i will always miss having bowie alive, teaching!!! <3 <3 <3 hey reznor ur still alive, keep it up bro!! lol :D if u feel need to naturally lol
I love you David Bowie,I miss you you beautiful weirdo and oh look Trent Reznor singer of nine inch nails is the video how weird,how cool lol
What a masterpiece of Music and video!
Great video, but the song is even better, one of Bowie’s best!
you better be afraid 😨😨....
this sounds like potions by Puscifer, also written by trent for MAYnard keenan
*Democracy*
I get ya'. There were two dolphins in the net. Oh, excuse me! There were 400 BIG dolphins not to mention Jetravart mice? sic. I don't get this. There are bards and minstrels talking about gypsies. Which one is which? Hey, man. I'll skip the "Julien Sorel" fun (see, "The Red and the Black," Stendahl). My dad actually tied to drop me off at a Seminary once. Hey, there's no Library of Alexandria or relevant Gutenberg contributions, okay? So...I'll skip the priesthood and get some real books. Sorry, Jewry, about the chemistry, maths, and the Occult but they are pretty much irrelevant now anyway. It wasn't my fault, obviously. I thought this was funny. Here we go. Not again with the coconuts...don't let them tell you that books aren't extremely dangerous!
Be real afraid bitches..
Trent and Bowie are like me and my crush.
"god is an americ [unt]" best line in the whole song
It’s 2020 and about time we ban imaginary assault rifles!
Basically this Comment section is Full of Pussies who are Soy Drinking snowflakes who are Afraid of Americans? Pffft
What's the cabbie name say before switches to Jonny?
I'm not afraid of Americans if they look like Trent!
Oh David why did you leave us without you so soon?
There's always that one creepy Bowie fan that just goes too far.
This video looks like it was directed by someone who idiolized both Lynche, and David Fincher, but clearly wasn’t very talented, lol. It’s great just because Bowie and Reznor, how could it not be? BUT if they weren’t in it, it’d be the dumbest thing close to ever.
Why would anyone be afraid of Americans?
I can think of 330 million reasons
You just can't get better than Bowie and Reznor ❤
When a singer has that unique sound its awesome. Reznor, Manson, Ozzy, Chris Cornell, Johnathan Davis...etc.
I hear elements of Bowie's "Fame" in this song. Someone should do a mashup.
Wow, I'm afraid of Americans too
David Bowie, I'm afraid you have every reason to be afraid of Americans.
Person of interest S01E22 :3
Still afraid...until we turn on Trump and his traitors...get ready!
See you in 5 years.
God is an American

I'm afraid too 2020
Happy birthday, David.
The guy chasing him is actually the guy who write the instrumental for Old Town Road.
Oh, well since you said best quality... XD
Was this version released on CD?
It was on EARTHLING the remastered edition that came out in 2015 I think. almost 20 years after the original (2CDs) with a bunch of other mixes.
No...she called my delicate sensibilities American Beer and said men with "tits" and "hips" were a better sort. CSL
fits for today even more than ever. i am american and the usa is freaking me out
I agree..
That's because you 2 are Soy Pussies. Grow some Balls, Gain some Testosterone and Man the Fuck up!!
@Umbrella Corporation i will too, i'd love to transition .
@Umbrella Corporation STFU POSER! God you FUCKING douche!!!
I'm afraid of London, now. No, I didn't see that one coming, either.
I saw it coming when I noticed there wasn't English people living there anymore
January 2020 and still relevant.
The issue is US intervention in middle east, specially in Irak after September 2001, not in New York. Stupid video
2020 after wwIII trends...
Didn’t understand this then...understand it now.
im glad im not alone
Im afraid of Eric and Eric and Eric and Eric
This does not reflect "Americans". Did Bowie ever go anywhere but the shithole parts of NYC?
is that john wick?
Wow the 90s were such a wild time.
I am too and I am American
That the hit song for berlin station on epix
..."No one needs anyone, they don't even just pretend"....
WOW
I dont kkow much about the composition of this video. But Does anyone else see a theme with "Taxi Driver"?
GOD IS AN AMERICAN...... Real News.
Honestly the funniest part is the taxi part tho xD
Well, they say that Americans ARE immigrants .
So, yes, be afraid.
This is a Trent mix, but the version on Bowie's Earthling is way better
This would be a typical David Bowie video 😏👌💯
We assassinate our presidents here. You better be scared.
