'wish you'd stay where you is' - a comment on America's poor education system?

Also, rhymes better than 'where you are'...

@FishesWillLaugh . I'd try this. 1st I thought exactly like you especially am French not english, but Patrick has surely some subtle way of writing. And it may be correct to say "is". in this form: "Do you know where IS america"? -"Yes it IS there" ...so Morrissey used the "you" to point to America. Iwish you could stay where America is" ..i.e at is ONLY place, not the world's gendarme. Cheers. Dan
