Whatever It Was

She's got a slant 6 mind and a supercharged heart,
 The little princess is singing about her parts,
 She says, "Come hither", but when I get hither she is yon.
 I was looking for what I loved. Whatever it was, it's gone.
 TV spreads and tension mounts,
 Like a guy in a bra it's the idea that counts,
 It's a picture of a picture of a whore holding a picture of a john.
 I was looking for what I loved...
 In the chemical fields by ammonia light,
 I would offer my prayer to the Corn Goddess tonight,
 but they chopped off her head and stuck her body out on the lawn.
 I was looking for what I loved...
 My generation takes what it can get,
 Are you surprised that the kids are all upset?
 They're looking at Nothing and Nothing turns away and yawns.
 I was looking for what I loved...
 Can't go to the country - the country isn't there,
 It got chopped up and mortgaged and vanished in thin air,
 It's a paint-by-number and it costs a million bucks down at the pawn.
 I was looking for what I loved...
 An electronic head and feet of clay,
 gonna be a lotta roadkill on the Information Highway,
 Someone stole the video of the everfresh and lovely dawn.
 I was looking for what I loved...
 You might be streetwise. You might be real bad,
 I guess you forgot that you also are a dad,
 Your kids won't forget it when they're trying to find someone to lean on
 I was looking for what I loved...
 The little towns are lying on their faces,
 All that's left are fading parking spaces,
 It's been quite a week, there was a drive-by shooting in Lake Wobegon.
 I was looking for what I loved...
 A Native American told me this whole deal's a mistake,
 and this implosion is just icing on the cake,
 If the Great Spirit is gambling, I'd say the con is a bigger con.
 I was looking for what I loved...
