“Someone in the back of the room started singing "God Bless America."”

David Sedaris (1956) American author

The thing about "God Bless America" is that, after a certain point, nobody really knows the words. There's always a weird mumbling that follows "Stand beside her and guide her," and lasts until "From the mountains to the prairies."
