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