Life in the U.S.A.

Life in the USA
 I want to live in the USA
 What will it be today?
 I want to be free every way
 Life in the USA
 Midnight comes to New York
 It's dark at the end of the street
 The coppers are running the numbers
 And silicone girls in the heat
 Lovers in the blackout Saturday night
 Passion in the subway, kill the light
 'Cause I want to live in the USA
 Life in the USA
 Don't give up, don't give up today
 What will it be today?
 Midnight comes to Houston
 It's hot as a thief in a car
 Telephone rings through a window
 Searching for flesh in a bar
 Looking for a kickback Saturday night
 Money on the back porch, kill the light
 'Cause I want to live in the USA
 Life in the USA
 I want to say what I want to say
 What will it be today?
 I want to live for the work and play
 Life in the USA
 Don't look back, don't look back
 What will it be today?
 I want to live in the USA
 Life in the USA
 I want to say what I want to say
 What will it be today?
 I wake up in the evening
 And my head's a magazine
 So I call up a cup of coffee
 And forget all about my dreams
 I'm the man who's on a mission
 I'm the guy you don't really know
 But I'll take your sweet submission
 And I go
 Twilight fog on LA
 Money and sex on the beach
 Hippies hung up on nostalgia
 And nuclear boys on the freeze
 Television postcard Saturday night
 Shooting through the windows, kill the light
 I want to live in the USA
 Life in the USA
 I want to be free every way
 What will it be today?
 I want to live for the work and the play
 Life in the USA
 Don't give up, don't give up today
 What will it be today?
 I want to live in the USA
 Life in the USA
 Don't look back, don't look back, no, no
 What will it be today?
 I want to say what I want to say
 Life in the USA
 I want to know what it feels like
 Life in the US
