Verse
D# F7
I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon
G# D#
I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune
D# F7
The lady right in front of me was old and brown
G# D#
The kids began to push her, they knocked her down
G# D#
I tried to help her out but there was just no way
G# A#7
F life ain't worth a damn on the street today
D# F7
I passed the ambulance and the camera crews
G# D#
I saw the instant replay on the evening news
[Chorus]
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime time
G# D#
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
G# D#
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 2]
D# F7
Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?
G# D#
Remove annoying hair from your upper lip
D# F7
What's it really worth? Does she really care?
G# D#
What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?
G# D#
Hey what's the real future of democracy?
G# A#7
How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?
D# F7
Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high
G# D#
Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry?
[Chorus]
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime time
G# D#
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
G# D#
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 3]
D# F7
Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
G# D#
Think about your life when you fill in the blank
D# F7
Here's a game that's real if you wanna try
G# D#
One spot on the wheel that says you must die
G# D#
American roulette is the game we play
G# A#7
But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay
D# F7
You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away
G# D#
But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say:
[Chorus]
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime time
Gb G#
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
A# C#
Well this is life, this is Prime time
D# F
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
Gb G#
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
A# C# D#
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 4]
D# F7
Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line
G# D#
There's where you can go if you land on the nine
D# F7
Canada is nice if you're fond of ice
G# D#
If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice
G# D#
We interrupt this game for a news release:
G# A#7
F man has gone insane and been killed by police!
D# F7
Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play
G# D#
'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-F you must pass away
[Chorus]
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime time
G# D#
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
G# D#
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 5]
D# F7
My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen
G# D#
Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine
D# F7
The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!
G# D#
The general is saying that he's still unimpressed.
G# D#
"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree
G# A#7
That things go better with democracy!"
D# F7
The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,
G# D#
But strontium showers will be here and there
[Chorus]
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime time
G# D#
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
G# D#
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 6]
D# F7
Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall
G# D#
My reception ain't too good in a power stall
D# F7
Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
G# D#
Chemicals in everything, including me
G# D#
They don't keep their promise in the promised land
G# A#7
It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man
D# F7
But coming very soon, a show you'll die to see
G# D#
It's called "The End Of The World", on channel "C"
[Chorus]
D# F
Well this is life, this is Prime time
Gb G#
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
A# C#
Well this is life, this is Prime time
D# F
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
Gb G#
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
A# C# D#
This is livin' the American way
