Welcome to New America!

Modern Broadway Pop, Cheery, Ironic lyrics performed with sincerity, Catchy, Great Cast Recording

[Ensemble – Harmonized, almost sales-pitch energy]
Welcome to New America, you’re gonna love the change
We’ll reorganize your wilderness, it’s progress, not so strange
A few adjustments here and there, some customs rearranged
Welcome to New America, your future’s been prearranged!

[Verse 2]
You’ve got nice trees, we’ll cut them down and build a proper town
With fences, roads, and tidy plots, we’ll really nail this down
We’ll show you crops that grow in rows, not scattered all about
Efficiency’s the difference between thriving and without

[Native Chorus – Skeptical aside, sotto voce]
(Spoken/sung softly)
They smile wide but speak in riddles…
What’s a “property”? What’s a “middle”?

[Pilgrims – Ignoring, cheerfully louder]
We’ll map it out, divide it up, assign it all a worth
Because what isn’t owned, you see, is wasted space on Earth!

[Ensemble – Bigger, brass kicks in]
Welcome to New America, where everything’s improved
We’ll teach you how to live the way that we have always proved
If something doesn’t fit our plan, it simply will be moved
Welcome to New America, you’ll soon be… re-approved!

[Verse 3 ]
Now don’t be alarmed by paperwork or signatures you’ll sign
It’s just a little formality to say what’s yours is—mine
I mean, ours! Of course, together, in a partnership so fair
You provide the land and labor, we provide… the prayer

[Native Chorus – Stronger now]
You speak of sharing, but we see
You take, then call it unity

[Pilgrims – Brushing past, increasingly frantic cheer]
Details, details, small discrepancies in tone
You’ll thank us when this place is something we can call our own!

[Bridge – Darker undertone, music shifts minor]
Pilgrim Solo (almost whispering):
A little push, a little claim
A little shift, a different name
A careful word, a clever phrase
And history is ours to phrase…

[Ensemble snaps back to bright major key abruptly]

[Final Chorus – Over-the-top spectacle]
Welcome to New America, where dreams are guaranteed
(For those who write the contracts and decide what others need)
We’ll civilize, we’ll organize, we’ll kindly take the lead
Welcome to New America… now kindly intercede!

[Tag – Pilgrim Leader, smiling too wide]
You’ll hardly notice anything has changed at all—
Except the names, the rules, the land… the future… and the call!

[Final Button – Ensemble, big Broadway finish]
WELCOME TO NEW AMERICAAAA—

[Verse 1 – Pilgrim Leader, bright and beaming] Good people, greetings, salutations, what a fortunate first meet We’ve crossed an ocean just to land here at your—how quaint—retreat We bring advancements, innovations, things you never knew you’d need A little structure, laws and order… and a modest claim to deed [Ensemble – Harmonized, almost sales-pitch energy] Welcome to New America, you’re gonna love the change We’ll reorganize your wilderness, it’s progress, not so strange A few adjustments here and there, some customs rearranged Welcome to New America, your future’s been prearranged!
