Tekst piosenki
The national nightmare has begun Empire of fantasy with a dark gloved fist aloft While the challenger explodes Banks are failing coming down hard The way things are going I'm moving to the sun belt Stars and stripes, forever is a long time Don't ask me what's to be done Ask what you can do for your country ? The Big Dipper' coming down Miss America's lost her crown Guess I've spent too long in this old town No time to run and hide We've been taken for a ride America leads the world in teenage suicide I always thought it would have been great To be a part of the United States a land of unmissed opportunity A friend seems so far ahead A land safe on film Untouched by reality But like a well played record seemed to scratch The news that real life and cinema don't match Even Forrest Gump can't save us now The king of Hollywood is dead I don't care what the president said I don't believe in everything I've read The Big Dipper's coming down New York's just a shanty town That distant sound is L.A. burning down The golden years of justice The golden years of youth The golden years of liberty The golden years of truth Laser bombin' Status seekin' Trail blazin' Frontier pushin' Space racin' Earth quakin' Jesus freakin' Serial killin' Cult crushin' Net surfin' Networkin' Fast talkin' Gun runnin' Fun lovin' America ! The Big Dipper' coming down Miss America's lost her crown Guess I've spent too long in this old town No time to run and hide We've been taken for a ride America leads the world in teenage suicide The Big Dipper's coming down New York's just a shanty town That distant sound is L.A. burning down The king of Hollywood is dead I don't care what the president said I don't believe in everything I've read
