| 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: |
