Didn't wake up dead or in jail
Some out-of-town boys been giving us hell
I got some bad news
Woke up missing you
My friends are all degenerates, they're all I got
The generational story of dropping the plot
I heard the cops came
Cocky motherfuckers, ain't they?
And ICE is gonna come bust down your door
Try to build a house no one builds no more
But got a telephone
Kids are all scared and all alone
The Boss stopped bumpin', the rock stopped rolling
The middle finger's rising and it won't stop showing
I got some bad news
The fading of the red, white and blue

This land's your land
This land mine too
Is this all true, man?
Or is it just bad news?

Well, he said, she said, mirrors and smoke
The right's turned red and the left's all woke
Got some bad news
I woke up missing you
My friends are all degenerates, they're all I got
Every day on the news, someone else is shot
I got some bad news
The fading of the red, white and blue
I served eight years just to be told
That nobody cares and land's all sold
I got some bad news
I woke up missing you

This land's your land
This land mine too
Is this all true, man?
Or is it just bad news?

Didn't wake up dead or in jail
Some out-of-town boys been giving us hell
I got some bad news
The fading of the red, white and blue
