What a drag it is
The shape i'm in 
Well I go out somewhere 
Then [bad word] home again 

I light a cigarette 
'Cause I can't get no sleep 
There's nothing on the TV nothing on the radio 
That means that much to me 

All my life 
Watching America 
All my life 
There's panic in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh 
There's trouble in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh 

Yesterday was easy 
Happiness came and went 
I got the movie script 
But I don't know what it meant 

I light a cigarette 
'Cause I can't get no sleep 
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio 
That means that much to me 
There's nothing on the TV nothing on the radio 
That I can believe in 

All my life 
Watching America 
All my life 
There's panic in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh 
There's trouble in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh 
There's panic in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh 

Yesterday was easy 
Yes I got the news 
When you get it straight, 
But stand up you just can't lose 
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life 

Dont stand me up 
Don't let me down 
I need you tonight 
To hold me, say you'll be here 
To hold me, say you'll be here 
To hold me, say you'll be here 
To hold.. 

All my life 
Watching America 
All my life 
There's panic in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh 
She's lost in America 
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
