This here's a family snapshot
beamed down from outer space - thank you, NASA -
it's a picture, Electrical Americana
from right across the 50 states.
We're 300 million people,
oh, we're just doin' what we do
but there we are,
captured in one moment,
y'know, right there,
could be even you.
Listen to me:
From Maine on the East
over to sparkly Tinsel Town in the West,
this is the Land of Hope & Freedom
the USA,
the USA is the best!
We're the Children of the New World
protectors of what's RIGHT,
where the Dollar does the talkin'
and Big Business has the might.
You might say:
Friend, it doesn't have to be so"
but money's always made the world go round
didn't you know?
But wait, stay with me
we can get through this,
cos some might have a dream
they're gonna give it their best shot,
while others are only con-men
who'll screw you with a smile
for every penny that you've got!
Some might be thinking big,
planning for that MINING boom on Mars,
while others might be watchin'
the cops cruise by in angry, armored cars.
Some might be crazy,
talking in TEN TORTURED TONGUES -
others might have their hearts so big,
they're out there, every night
feedin' homeless bums,
- yes, they are!
This is our family snapshot
beamed down from outer space
of Abstract Americana
from across the 50 states
300 million people
just doin' what we do
captured in one moment -
it could be - look, right there
it could be you.
