What is this song?


What is the song in the beginning scene when Bill Murray turns on the stereo equipment and a song starts playing? The lyrics went something like "It's the American way", but I couldn't make out the rest of it.

I'm desperately hoping for someone to know this.

I am watching on Netflix streaming right now and it is most definitely Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.

Bob Dylan, "Highway 61 Revisited" from the 1965 album of the same name, Dylan's 1st "all electric" album.
The lyrics heard in the film are the first verse of the song:

Well God said to Abraham, "Kill Me a son"
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God said, "NO"
Abe said, "What?"
God said, "You know, Abe, you can do anything you want, but
the next time you see me comin'you better run!"
Abe said, "Where you want this killin' done?"
God said, "On out Highway Sixty-one."
