PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH

 

Hey, I can't read that sign out there

Please tell me what's it say

We have to have subtitles

In five languages these days

Now we don't ask too much

To share this land of liberties

But if it's not too much to ask

Could you please speak English

 

(Chorus)

English is my language

It's the language of this land

And every sign that's posted here

I should understand

I do not live in China, Mexico

No foreign place

And English is the language

Of these United States

 

Now I'll speak very clear for you

So there'll be no mistake

My family fought and died

Protecting freedoms in these states

Now we all welcome those who come

But when you reach our shores

Folks you should speak our language

Not the one you spoke before

 

(Chorus)

English is my language

It's the language of this land

And every sign that's posted here

I should understand

I do not live in China, Mexico

No foreign place

And English is the language

Of these United States

 

Now I'm proud of our country

And this great Democracy

And I believe an open door

Should be our policy

But for these opportunities

We'd simply ask you this

Hey you're the one who chose to come

Now choose to speak English

 

(Chorus)

English is my language

It's the language of this land

And every sign that's posted here

I should understand

I do not live in China, Mexico

No foreign place

And English is the language

Of these United States

 

Now here's one thing I question

And try to understand

Hey why must I press one for English

When it's the language of this land

 

(Chorus)

English is my language

It's the language of this land

And every sign that's posted here

I should understand

I do not live in China, Mexico

No foreign place

And English is the language

Of these United States

 

I do not live in China, Mexico,

No foreign place

And English is the language

Of these United States
