Superman was killed in dallas
there's no love left in the palace
someone took the beatle's lead guitar
Have another chivas regal
you're twelve years old and sex is legal
your parents don't know who or where you are
Used to be the hero of the ballgame
took the time to shake the loser's hand
used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
in a world where people gave a damn
Great big wars and little places
look at all those frightened faces
but don't come here we just don't have the room
Love thy neigbors wife and daughter
cleanse your life with holy water
you don't need to pay we've got a few
Used to be a knight in shining armor
didn't have to own a shiny car
dignity and courage were the measures of a man
not the drugs he needs to hide the scar
Can you picture me?
does your preacher pray?
does your president have soul?
have you heard a real good ethnic joke today?
Mama took to speed and daddy ran away
but you must'nt lose control
let's cut class, i got some grass
the kids are wild we just can't tame them
do we have the right to blame them?
pethanol are in to switch them
we've rigged their minds with television
but what the hell they're too young to feel pain
But i believe that love can save tomorrow
believe the truth can set us free
someone tried to tell us
but we nailed him to a cross
i guess it's still the way it used to be...
