I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon |
| [00:19.220] |
I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune |
| [00:22.960] |
The lady right in front of me was old and brown |
| [00:26.520] |
The kids began to push her, they knocked her down |
| [00:30.450] |
I tried to help her out but there was just no way |
| [00:33.880] |
A life ain't worth a damn on the street today |
| [00:37.190] |
I passed the ambulance and the camera crews |
| [00:41.180] |

Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip? |
| [01:03.840] |
Remove annoying hair from your upper lip |
| [01:07.520] |
What's it really worth? Does she really care? |
| [01:11.010] |
What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair? |
| [01:15.190] |
Hey what's the real future of democracy? |
| [01:18.500] |
How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy? |
| [01:21.990] |
Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high |
| [01:25.680] |

| [01:56.310] |
Think about your life when you fill in the blank |
| [01:59.940] |
Here's a game that's real if you wanna try |
| [02:03.550] |
One spot on the wheel that says you must die |
| [02:08.980] |
American roulette is the game we play |
| [02:12.720] |
But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay |
| [02:17.590] |
You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away |
| [02:21.280] |
But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say: |
| [02:24.710] |

| [02:38.810] |
Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line |
| [02:41.310] |
There's where you can go if you land on the nine |
| [02:44.180] |
Canada is nice if you're fond of ice |
| [02:46.300] |
If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice |
| [02:49.540] |
We interrupt this game for a news release: |
| [02:51.730] |
A man has gone insane and been killed by police! |
| [02:54.350] |
Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play |
| [02:56.780] |
'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A you must pass away |
| [02:59.590] |

My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen |
| [03:09.640] |
Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine |
| [03:12.010] |
The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast! |
| [03:14.130] |
The general is saying that he's still unimpressed. |
| [03:15.880] |
"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree |
| [03:18.370] |
That things go better with democracy!" |
| [03:19.810] |
The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer, |
| [03:22.120] |

This is livin' the American way |
| [03:30.980] |
Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall |
| [03:32.910] |
My reception ain't too good in a power stall |
| [03:34.780] |
Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea |
| [03:36.780] |
Chemicals in everything, including me |
| [03:37.840] |
They don't keep their promise in the promised land |
| [03:39.960] |
