Well, we're looking at the cover, spending all our time 
Just staring at the magazine 
Well, look who's on the cover wasting all our time 
Some psuedo-fascist hero machine 
Well, that's no space for a human being 
That man is not a hero or saint 
When somewhere in deepest America 
Grown men weep at the sound of his name 
So it goes... 

All the girls named Gloria 
Sing sweetly out of key 
The sun rose in the west today 
Accidents in the land of the free 

Well I grew up where they showed you the body count 
In color on the dinner TV 
And I've been numbed so insensitive 
That all I can think about is you and me 
Children from the best homes they all have guns and butter 
They have their share of murder blue 
Well it's not such a wiggy-awesome-good-time 
When a shopping mall milita point their cannons at you 
So it goes.... 

Everyone believes in the stories 'bout the Cadillacs 
Everybody's got enough to eat 
And people always keep their eyes glued to the ground 
When a desperate man, he's gotta cling to the street 
And I swear to myself I will help them 
I will be an upstanding man 
But when I walk by and I hear them cry 
That money just sticks to my hand 
What's wrong with me!
