I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon |
| [00:20.12] |
I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune |
| [00:23.86] |
The lady right in front of me was old and brown |
| [00:27.42] |
The kids began to push her, they knocked her down |
| [00:31.35] |
I tried to help her out but there was just no way |
| [00:34.78] |
A life ain't worth a damn on the street today |
| [00:38.09] |

| [00:45.70] |

Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip? |
| [01:04.74] |
Remove annoying hair from your upper lip |
| [01:08.42] |
What's it really worth? Does she really care? |
| [01:11.91] |
What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair? |
| [01:16.09] |
Hey what's the real future of democracy? |
| [01:19.40] |
How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy? |
| [01:22.89] |
Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high |
| [01:26.58] |

Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank |
| [01:57.21] |
Think about your life when you fill in the blank |
| [02:00.84] |
Here's a game that's real if you wanna try |
| [02:04.45] |
One spot on the wheel that says you must die |
| [02:09.88] |
American roulette is the game we play |
| [02:13.62] |
But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay |
| [02:18.49] |
You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away |
| [02:22.18] |
But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say: |
| [02:25.61] |

| [02:39.71] |
Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line |
| [02:42.21] |
There's where you can go if you land on the nine |
| [02:45.08] |
Canada is nice if you're fond of ice |
| [02:47.20] |
If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice |
| [02:50.44] |
We interrupt this game for a news release: |
| [02:52.63] |
A man has gone insane and been killed by police! |
| [02:55.25] |
Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play |
| [02:57.68] |
'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A you must pass away |

My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen |
| [03:10.54] |
Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine |
| [03:12.91] |
The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast! |
| [03:15.03] |
The general is saying that he's still unimpressed. |
| [03:16.78] |
"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree |
| [03:19.27] |
That things go better with democracy!" |
| [03:20.71] |
The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer, |
| [03:23.02] |

Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall |
| [03:33.81] |
My reception ain't too good in a power stall |
| [03:35.68] |
Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea |
| [03:37.68] |
Chemicals in everything, including me |
| [03:38.74] |
They don't keep their promise in the promised land |
| [03:40.86] |
It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man |
