And if all that there is Is sad songs and American beer And the voices at the bar Obscuring every word you think that you can hear And we've seen it all before And we've seen it all before And we've seen it all before I know now what must be done So it is less like a song And it is more like a sonnet To the ghost of Jackson C Frank And the voice of Elvis And we've seen it all before And we've seen it all before And we've seen it all before And I know now what must be done And if all that there is Is sad songs and American beer And the voices at the bar They're the voices of the angels Telling us that the end is near And all the bar mates sing And we've seen it all before And we've seen it all before And we've seen it all before I know now what must be done
