Jill Sobule (born January 16, 1965 in Denver, Colorado) is an American singer-songwriter best known for the 1995 single "I Kissed a Girl", and "Supermodel" from the soundtrack of the 1995 film Clueless. Her folk-inflected compositions alternate between ironic, story-driven character studies and emotive ballads, a duality reminiscent of such 1970s American songwriters as Warren Zevon, Harry Nilsson, Loudon Wainwright III, Harry Chapin, and Randy Newman. Autobiographical elements, including Sobule's Jewish heritage and her adolescent battles with anorexia and depression, frequently occur in Sobule's writing.

Remember the garden of Eden?
Before eve hung out with that snake.
You could walk down the streets not worry bout thieves.
All the kids could go trick or treating
Then those foreigners started coming in
Like the Germans in 1790
Then the Irish arrived, the potato blight.
The neighborhood started changing
Life was better, we lived right
Life had a paler shade of white 
When they say, ""we want our America back""
Our America back, our America back""
When they say, ""we want our America back""
Well, what the f*ck do they mean?
 
Before there was Ellis island
And  that statue we got from the French
That whore's still alerting, with strangers she's flirting
Inviting them into our beds
The guineas, the coolies, the wetbacks, the reds
The Jews, now those terrorists
And who let in the woman who looks after my kid 
And the one who is cleaning my mess?
Life was so righteous, life was so clean. 
Send em all back including me
When they say, ""we want our America back""
Our America back, our America back""
When they say, ""we want our America back""
Well, what the f*ck do they mean?

Before the gays had their agenda, before the slaves were free
Before that man from Kenya took the presidency 
  
When they say, ""we want our America back""
Our America back, our America back""
When they say, ""we want our America back""
Well, what the f*ck do they mean?
