Look at ya | |
Yeah, take a look in the mirror now tell me what you see | |
Another satisfied customer in the front of the line | |
For the American dream | |
I remember when we were both on the boulevard | |
Talkin' revolution and singin' the blues | |
Nowadays letters to the editor and cheatin' on our taxes | |
Is the best that we can do. | |
Look around | |
There's doctors down on Wall Street | |
Sharpenin' their scalpels and tryin' to cut a deal | |
Meanwhile, back at the hospital, we got accountants | |
Playin' God and countin' out the pills | |
Yeah, I know, that sucks - that your HMO | |
Ain't doin' what you thought it would do | |
But everybody's gotta die sometime | |
And we can't save everybody | |
That's the best that we can do. | |
Four score and a hundred and fifty years ago | |
Our forefathers made us equal as long as we can pay | |
Yeah, well maybe that wasn't exactly what they was thinkin' | |
Version six-point-o of the American way | |
But hey we can just build a great wall | |
Around the country club | |
To keep the riff-raff out until the slump is through | |
I realize that ain't exactly democratic | |
But it's either them or us | |
And it's the best we can do. | |
