I come from a time that hasnt happened yet,
And I have been better - but I can't quite remember when.
He works two jobs, gives half his pay to the government.
Now tell yourself that your not killing yourself to live.
And that's the excuse, for our drug abuse.
There was a time when America was my life
And now it feels we are living a lie (living a lie)
From the time I wake to the time I sleep everything is just too much for me.
We take the pills, to keep the nausea at bay,
And now they take us and we feel worse than yesterday.
Throw a war against the wall see if it sticks
And if it doesn't oh well, at least were white and rich.
There was a time when America was my life
And now it feels we are living a lie (living a lie)
From the time I wake to the time I sleep
Everything is just too much for me.
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell,
My sweet friends I have moved myself to,
Moved myself to Amsterdam, Amsterdam in detest of our futile war
So cheers my dears from the other shore.
