USA |
| Dumbfounded, downtrodden, and dejected |
| Crestfallen, grief-stricken, and exhausted |
| Trapped in my room while the house was burning to the motherfuckin' ground |
| I saw the sign but it was misleading |
| I fought the law, but the law was cheating |
| Screaming for help, but somebody keeps on telling me to settle down |
| And please be honest |
| And tell me, was it you? |
| Clerk at the Midwestern service station |
| Striped uniform, giggling at catch phrases |
| Look in her eyes like we’re up to something |
| Oh, it doesn’t matter now |
| Man in a crossover with his family |
| Sketched-in decals on the window smiling |
| Drivin' parallel in the lane beside me |
| Oh, it doesn’t matter now |
| But please be honest |
| And tell me, was it you? |
| I won’t hate you |
| I just need to know |
| Please be honest |
| And tell me, was it you? |
| At first he thought it was the undertow |
| But he was dragged to the bottom of the lake |
| By a couple of kids saying, «It's a joke» |
| Though he didn’t know any of their names |
| As they held him down, the crowd got loud |
| And they cheered when they thought he had escaped |
| When the anchor needed something for the 10 o’clock |
| What could they say? |
| Oh, what else could they say? |
| They said |
| «Well, you promised us the stars |
| Well, you promised us the stars |
| Well, you promised us the stars |
| Well, you promised us the stars |
| And now we’re tired and bored» (x62) |
| (et tu, USA |
| Et tu, et tu, USA) |
