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 was both out on the boulevard
Talkin' revolution and singin' the blues
Nowadays it's
letters to the editor and cheatin' on our taxes
Is the best that we can do
Come on
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
It'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-oh 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
Yeah, I realize that ain't exactly democratic, but it's either them or us and
And
it's the best we can do
Yeah, passionely conservative
It's the best we can do
Conservatively passionate
It's the best we can do
Meanwhile, still thinkin'
Hey, let's wage a war on drugs
It's the best we can do
Well, I don't know about you,
but I kinda dig this global warming thing... | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
