Verse
A B7
I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon
D A
I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune
A B7
The lady right in front of me was old and brown
D A
The kids began to push her, they knocked her down
D A
I tried to help her out but there was just no way
D E7
B life ain't worth a damn on the street today
A B7
I passed the ambulance and the camera crews
D A
I saw the instant replay on the evening news
[Chorus]
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime time
D A
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
D A
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 2]
A B7
Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?
D A
Remove annoying hair from your upper lip
A B7
What's it really worth? Does she really care?
D A
What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?
D A
Hey what's the real future of democracy?
D E7
How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?
A B7
Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high
D A
Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry?
[Chorus]
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime time
D A
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
D A
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 3]
A B7
Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
D A
Think about your life when you fill in the blank
A B7
Here's a game that's real if you wanna try
D A
One spot on the wheel that says you must die
D A
American roulette is the game we play
D E7
But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay
A B7
You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away
D A
But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say:
[Chorus]
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C D
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
E G
Well this is life, this is Prime time
A B
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
C D
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
E G A
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 4]
A B7
Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line
D A
There's where you can go if you land on the nine
A B7
Canada is nice if you're fond of ice
D A
If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice
D A
We interrupt this game for a news release:
D E7
B man has gone insane and been killed by police!
A B7
Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play
D A
'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-B you must pass away
[Chorus]
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime time
D A
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
D A
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 5]
A B7
My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen
D A
Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine
A B7
The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!
D A
The general is saying that he's still unimpressed.
D A
"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree
D E7
That things go better with democracy!"
A B7
The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,
D A
But strontium showers will be here and there
[Chorus]
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime time
D A
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
D A
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 6]
A B7
Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall
D A
My reception ain't too good in a power stall
A B7
Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
D A
Chemicals in everything, including me
D A
They don't keep their promise in the promised land
D E7
It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man
A B7
But coming very soon, a show you'll die to see
D A
It's called "The End Of The World", on channel "C"
[Chorus]
A B
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C D
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
E G
Well this is life, this is Prime time
A B
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
C D
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
E G A
This is livin' the American way
