They dropped the bomb the other day
Technology has lit our way
America the Beautiful
Or so they say

1999 will be the best New Year's ever
And Prince will be a rich man again
You and I holding hands
Walking towards a darkened sun

The family's strong so nothing's wrong
A generation of closed eyes
Don't get me wrong I like it here
It's just society I despise

I'll bring you down to the prehistoric level
And I'm sad to say I'm just a man
So life's a bitch yeah we know that
Our world's nothing more than a grain of sand

Your getting head in a parking lot full of sweat
Wife's home in bed thinking of other men
Smoking crack in the bathroom of your bosses office
Kids ditching school dressing up in mom's closet

Looks like God has forgotten you
The plans you've made have all fallen through
It's your thirteenth try at suicide
The gift of life is the biggest lie

They dropped the bomb the other day
Technology has lit our way
America the Beautiful
Or so they say

1999 will be the best New Year's ever
And Prince will be a rich man again
You and I holding hands
Walking towards a darkened sun

Your getting head in a parking lot full of sweat
Wife's home in bed thinking of other men
Smoking crack in the bathroom of your bosses office
Kids ditching school dressing up in mom's closet

Looks like God has forgotten you
The plans you've made have all fallen through
It's your thirteenth try at suicide
The gift of life is the biggest lie
