PRIME TIME

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon

I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune

The lady right in front of me was old and brown

The kids began to push her, they knocked her down

I tried to help her out but there was just no way

A life ain't worth a damn on the street today

I passed the ambulance and the camera crews

I saw the instant replay on the evening news

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?

Remove annoying hair from your upper lip

What's it really worth? Does she really care?

What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?

Hey what's the real future of democracy?

How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?

Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high

Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry?

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank

Think about your life when you fill in the blank

Here's a game that's real if you wanna try

One spot on the wheel that says you must die

American roulette is the game we play

But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay

You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away

But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say:

"Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way"

Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line

There's where you can go if you land on the nine

Canada is nice if you're fond of ice

If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice

We interrupt this game for a news release:

A man has gone insane and been killed by police!

Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play

'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A you must pass away

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen

Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine

The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!

The general is saying that he's still unimpressed.

"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree

That things go better with democracy!"

The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,

But strontium showers will be here and there

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall

My reception ain't too good in a power stall

Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea

Chemicals in everything, including me

They don't keep their promise in the promised land

It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man

But coming very soon, a show you'll die to see

It's called "The End Of The World", on channel "C"

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U. S. A.

Well this is life, this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way
