lirik lagu don mclean - prime time
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
i was ridin’ on the subway in the afternoon
i saw some kids ‘a beatin’ out a funky tune
the lady right in front of me was old and brown
the kids began to push her, they knocked her down
i tried to help her out but there was just no way
a life ain’t worth a d-mn on the street today
i p-ssed the ambulance and the camera crews
i saw the instant replay on the evening news
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
well, will you take the car, will you take the trip?
remove annoying hair from your upper lip
what’s it really worth? does she really care?
what’s the best shampoo that i can use on my hair?
hey, what’s the real future of democracy?
how’re we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?
hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky high
does the deodorant, i’m usin’ really keep me dry?
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
well, spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
think about your life when you fill in the blank
here’s a game that’s real if you wanna try
one spot on the wheel that says you must die
american roulette is the game we play
but no one wants to have to be the one to pay
you get to p-ss, go, you get to p-ss away
but before we start our show, here’s our sponsor to say
well this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
well down in mexico, the laundry’s on the line
there’s where you can go if you land on the nine
canada is nice if you’re fond of ice
if you land on the two then we’ll send you there twice
we interrupt this game for a news release
a man has gone insane and been killed by police
now back to the game, that’s a dangerous play
’cause if they see you in c u b a you must p-ss away
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
my supper’s on the stove, the war is on the screen
p-ss the bread and b-tter while i watch the marine
they shot him in the chest, p-ss the chicken breast
the general is sayin’ that he’s still unimpressed
we had to burn the city ’cause they wouldn’t agree
that things go better with democracy
the weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer
but strontium showers will be here and there
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
well, livin’ in the country watchin’ shadows fall
my reception ain’t too good in a power stall
bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
chemicals in everything including me
they don’t keep their promise in the promised land
it’s getting mighty hard to find an honest man
but coming very soon, a show you’ll die to see
it’s called, “the end of the world” on channel “c”
well this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ in the u.s.a.
well, this is life, this is prime time
this is livin’ the american way
