lyrics

Young men proud to wear suicide bombs
Blowing up buildings, children and moms
Politicians want billions more
To fight their next dirty little war
Big corporations sucking the blood
Of the masses for the privileged good
Reality shows, American idols
Cattle calls to win the titles

(Chorus)
What's this world coming to?
I remember Asheville, skies so blue
You could see about a hundred miles
How's my child to wear a smile?

And everybody's taking some kind of drugs
Over the counter, prescriptions or thugs
Bring it to your neighborhood
This will make you feel so good
Athletes hooked on steroid juice
Hit so hard, loose as a goose
Crackheads crying in the street
Others so much more discreet

Chorus

Where's the one to lead us now
To the Promised Land, past the sacred cows
Martin Luther, JFK turning over in their graves
Abraham, he's dead and gone
Only new gods to carry on
New gods of greed, higher education
Massive wealth and exploitation

Chorus

The Prince is king, he rules the world
Over all the little boys and girls
Supersized, a junk food nation
Send them all to some space station
Scripts for every ache and pain
Pounding on your weary brain
Get out your notebook, write a poem
Sing a song, create a storm

Chorus

Living a dirge, time to rock n roll
Achilles brain got a hold of your soul
Fools Folly Bridge crossing over to Hell
Time to dip down deep into the cool clear well
The well of longing, the well of hope
The well of the 8 count, coming off the ropes
Fill up your car with good gasoline
Still you're behind the wheel
If you know what I mean

Chorus

Ride out across the U.S.A.
In your daddy's ole Chevrolet
Put on some jeans and a pair of boots
Try to get back to your roots
Listen to Bird, Coltrane and Dylan
Pretty soon you'll be chillin'
Find a way to some cleaner air
Cleaner water, where the people care
Lovingkindness that don't stare
Somewhere with some atmosphere
Ride out across the U.S.A.
In your daddy's ole Chevrolet

Chorus
