Lyrics The Big Dipper - Heaven 17

The Big Dipper

The national nightmare has begun
Empire of fantasy with a dark gloved fist aloft
While the challenger explodes
Banks are failing coming down hard
The way things are going IЂ™m moving to the sun belt
Stars and stripesforever is a long time
DonЂ™t ask me whatЂ™s to be done
Ask what you can do for your country?
The big dipperЂ™ coming down
Miss americaЂ™s lost her crown
Guess IЂ™ve spent too long in this old town
No time to run and hide
WeЂ™ve been taken for a ride
America leads the world in teenage suicide
I always thought it would have been great
To be a part of the united states
A land of unmissed opportunity
A friend seems so far ahead
A land safe on film
Untouched by reality
But like a well played record seemed to scratch
The news that real life and cinema donЂ™t match
Even forrest gump canЂ™t save us now
The king of hollywood is dead
I donЂ™t care what the president said
I donЂ™t believe in everything IЂ™ve read
The big dipperЂ™s coming down
New yorkЂ™s just a shanty town
That distant sound is l.a.
burning down
The golden years of justice
The golden years of youth
The golden years of liberty
The golden years of truth
Laser bombinЂ™
Status seekinЂ™
Trail blazinЂ™
Frontier pushinЂ™
Space racinЂ™
Earth quakinЂ™
Jesus freakinЂ™
Serial killinЂ™
Cult crushinЂ™
Net surfinЂ™
NetworkinЂ™
Fast talkinЂ™
Gun runninЂ™
Fun lovinЂ™
America !
The big dipperЂ™ coming down
Miss americaЂ™s lost her crown
Guess IЂ™ve spent too long in this old town
No time to run and hide
WeЂ™ve been taken for a ride
America leads the world in teenage suicide
The big dipperЂ™s coming down
New yorkЂ™s just a shanty town
That distant sound is l.a.
burning down
The king of hollywood is dead
I donЂ™t care what the president said
I donЂ™t believe in everything IЂ™ve read
