Look at ya
Yeah, take a look in the mirror now tell me what you see
Another satisfied customer in the front of the line for the American dream
I remember when we was both out on the boulevard
Talkin` revolution and singin` the blues
Nowadays it`s letters to the editor and cheatin` on our taxes
Is the best that we can do
Come on
Look around
There`s doctors down on Wall Street
Sharpenin` their scalpels and tryin` to cut a deal
Meanwhile, back at the hospital
We got accountants playin` God and countin` out the pills
Yeah, I know, that sucks ?‚?– that your HMO
Ain`t doin` what you thought it would do
But everybody`s gotta die sometime and we can`t save everybody
It`s the best that we can do
Four score and a hundred and fifty years ago
Our forefathers made us equal as long as we can pay
Yeah, well maybe that wasn`t exactly what they was thinkin`
Version six-point-oh of the American way
But hey we can just build a great wall around the country club
To keep the riff-raff out until the slump is through
Yeah, I realize that ain`t exactly democratic, but it`s either them or us and
And it`s the best we can do
Yeah, passionely conservative
It`s the best we can do
