Here's Mr. White, he's an executive
Here's Mrs. White, she's an executive just like him
They drive a white Seville
With bulletproof glass so they don't get killed when they're
Buying their cocaine
Stuffing it up their noses
Showing their children why we're
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming
Here's Captain Tom, he's with the C.I.A.
He keeps us safe and sound from foreign enemies
He sells them guns and bombs and secret plans so they can run when he
Finally gets caught
Living in Mexico
Writing a book about how we're
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming
Here's Jimmy Jeff Bahm, he's with the N.R.A.
He likes to keep his guns around the house just in case
Sunday he visits his son who's doing time for shooting someone and we
Quietly stand by
Thoughtfully close our eyes
Fall on our knees and cry that we're
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
