I come from a time that hasn't happened yet |
|
And I have been better but I can't quite remember when |
|
He works two jobs, gives half his pay to the government |
|
Now tell yourself that you're not killing yourself to live |
|
And that's the excuse |
|
For our drug abuse |
|
There was a time when America was my life |
|
And now it feels we are living a lie, living a lie |
|
From the time I wake 'til the time I sleep |
|
Everything is just too much for me |
|
We take the pills to keep the nausea at bay |
|
And how they take us and we feel worse than yesterday |
|
Throw a war against the wall, see if it sticks |
|
And if it doesn't, oh well, at least we're white and rich |
|
And that's the excuse |
|
For our drug abuse |
|
There was a time when America was my life |
|
And now it feels we are living a lie, living a lie |
|
From the time I wake 'til the time I sleep |
|
Everything is just too much for me |
|
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell, my sweet friends |
|
I have moved myself to, moved myself to Amsterdam, Amsterdam |
|
In detest of a futile war, so cheers my dears from the other shore |
