We can never understand What's truth or lies about the world these days In the western civilisation We watch the new God called dollar, pound and mark But when you sit in your 1000 square meter house The pain and loneliness marks your face You see money isn't everything That makes the world go round, you live in the dark The goal you set will forever tell you lies You're struggling in vain for your own greed Sit back and watch your life is rushing by The success you want to reach is out of sight You're going to die without the feeling that you've been alive The life you lost, the love you wouldn't ever feel There's no control, there's no sense of living There's no time to die God bless America The land of opportunities, the melting pot Glory, glory Hollywood We're watching the young men dying in the gulf The both sides of the coin they show Makes no success for me, for you For us, for them, for no one We're not supposed to die In the bonfire of vanities We're not waiting here for nuclear waste We're not crying until the end
