Some say the end is near Some say it's already over Some say: Hey man, you're too serious And everyone of you wants to go out with a bang This life leaves A bad taste in my mouth So false lead That even shadows doubt South of nowhere South is nowhere Pull the covers over your head Turn up your stereo just as loud as it can go But fate's a twisted little creeper The less you want to hear, the more you're gonna know This life leaves A bad taste in my mouth So false lead That even shadows doubt With deep regret, strike out for the South But South of nowhere South is nowhere Smoke your cigarettes one by one Live it up, these are the glory days Caution is a whisper long gone to the wind This is America This is America This is America
