Prime Time (Live) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

Well this is life

This is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is living the American way

I was riding on the subway in the afternoon

I saw some kids beating out a funky tune

The lady right in front of me was old and brown

The kids began to push her they knocked her down

I tried to help her out but there was just no way

A life ain't worth a damn on the street today

I passed the ambulance and the camera crews

I saw the instant replay on the evening news

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is living the American way

Well will you take the car

Or will you take the trip

Remove annoying hair from your upper lip

What's it really worth Does she really care

What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair

Hey what's the real future of democracy

How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy

Hey the cost of life has gone sky-high

Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is living the American way

Well sping the magic wheel and try to break the bank

Think about your life when you fill in the blank

Here's a game that's real if you wanna try

One spot on the wheel that says you must die

American roulette is the game we play

But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay

You get to pass GO you get to pass away

But before we start our show

Here's our sponsor to say

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is living the American way

My suppergs on the stove the war is on the screen

Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine

The shot him in the chest-Pass the chicken breast

The general is saying that hegs still unimpressed

We had to burn the city because they wouldn't agree

That things go better with democracy

The weather will be fair forget the ozone layer

But strontium showers will be here and there

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is living the American way

Well living in the country watching shadows fall

My reception ain't too good in a power stall

Bombers in the air missiles in the sea

Chemicals in everything including me

They don't keep their promise in the promised land

It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man

But coming very soon a show you'll die to see

It's called The End Of The World on channel C

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is living in the USA

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is living the American way
