Manic Street Preachers', "Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworld..."
The Lyrics:
Grenada, Haiti, Poland, Nicaragua
Why:
James pronounces "Nicaragua" as "Nic-a-rah-goo-ah" to fit in with the odd metre of the verses. On a side note, the full title of the song is "Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart" but it wouldn't fit.
