Verse
B C#7
I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon
E B
I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune
B C#7
The lady right in front of me was old and brown
E B
The kids began to push her, they knocked her down
E B
I tried to help her out but there was just no way
E F#7
C# life ain't worth a damn on the street today
B C#7
I passed the ambulance and the camera crews
E B
I saw the instant replay on the evening news
[Chorus]
B C#
Well this is life, this is Prime time
E B
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
B C#
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
E B
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 2]
B C#7
Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?
E B
Remove annoying hair from your upper lip
B C#7
What's it really worth? Does she really care?
E B
What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?
E B
Hey what's the real future of democracy?
E F#7
How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?
B C#7
Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high
E B
Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry?
[Chorus]

Well this is life, this is Prime time
E B
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
B C#
Well this is life, this is Prime Time

[Verse 3]
B C#7
Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
E B
Think about your life when you fill in the blank
B C#7
Here's a game that's real if you wanna try
E B
One spot on the wheel that says you must die
E B
American roulette is the game we play
E F#7
But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay
B C#7
You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away
E B
But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say:
[Chorus]

Well this is life, this is Prime time

B C#7
Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line
E B
There's where you can go if you land on the nine
B C#7
Canada is nice if you're fond of ice
E B
If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice
E B
We interrupt this game for a news release:
E F#7
C# man has gone insane and been killed by police!
B C#7
Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play
E B
'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-C# you must pass away
[Chorus]
B C#
Well this is life, this is Prime time
E B
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
B C#
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
E B
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 5]
B C#7
My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen
E B
Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine
B C#7
The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!
E B
The general is saying that he's still unimpressed.
E B
"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree
E F#7
That things go better with democracy!"
B C#7
The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,
E B
But strontium showers will be here and there
[Chorus]

This is livin' in the U. S. A.
B C#
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
E B
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 6]
B C#7
Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall
E B
My reception ain't too good in a power stall
B C#7
Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
E B
Chemicals in everything, including me
E B
They don't keep their promise in the promised land
E F#7
It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man
B C#7
But coming very soon, a show you'll die to see

It's called "The End Of The World", on channel "C"
