Superman was killed

in Dallas

There's no love left

in the palace

Someone took

the Beatles'

Lead guitar

Have another Chivas Regal

You're twelve years old

and s is legal

Your parents don't know where

or who you are

Used to be

the hero

of the

ball

game

Took the time

to shake the

loser's

hand

Used to be

that failure

Only meant

you didn't try

in a world where people

gave

a

damn

Great big wars

in little places

Look at all those frightened

faces

But don't come here

We just don't have a

room

Love thy neighbor's

wife and daughter

(Hmmmm)

Cleanse your life with

Holy Water

(HaHa!)

We don't need to bathe

We've got perfume

Used to be a knight and

shining

armor

Didn't have to own a shiny

car

Dignity and courage

were the measure of a man

Not the drugs he needs

to hide the scar

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa

Can your teacher read?

Does your preacher pray?

Does your president have soul?

Have you heard a real

good ethnic joke today?

Mama took her speed

And Daddy ran away

But you musn't lose control

Let's cut a class!

I got some grass!

The kids are wild

We just can't tame 'em

Do we have the right to blame 'em

We fed 'em all our indecision

We break their minds with television

But what the hell

Theirs too young to feel pain

Oh, I believe that love

can save tomorrow

(Hmmmmm, wah)

believe the truth can make us free

Someone tried to say it

and we nailed him to a cross

I guess it's still the way

it

Used

To

Be
