Music Video

The video uses the (V1) mix of the song, and features Reznor stalking Bowie throughout New York, with Bowie constantly trying to escape. Throughout the video, violent acts are "commited" with guns seemingly only visable to Bowie, and the video culminates in Reznor firing an automatic imaginary gun at a cab that Bowie is hiding behind, with Reznor subsequently appearing as a festival reveller.

Lyrics

Johnny's in America, no tricks at the wheel Nobody needs anyone, they don't even just pretend 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 Johnny's in America

Johnny wants a plane, Johnny wants to suck on a Coke Johnny wants a woman, Johnny wants to think of a joke 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 Johnny's in America

Johnny's in America, Johnny looks up at the stars Johnny combs his hair And Johnny wants pussy and cars 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 Johnny's in America

God is an American God is an American

Im afraid of americans Im afraid of the world

Im afraid I cant help it

Im afraid I cant

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 Johnny's in America
