Wasted In America

Mama's in the kitchen

Papa's on the porch

Junior's downstairs in the basement

Passin' on freedom's torch

They're busy fighting

Fillin' all the jails

But sure as the sun do shine in the mornin'--

There's drugs on sale

They're getting wasted

Wasted

They're getting wasted

Wasted in America

Something's gone wrong with the TV generation

I am the product of that situation

So you say you're feelin'

Pinhead frustration

C'mon join the nation

They're getting wasted

Wasted

They're getting wasted

Wasted in America

Don't ask me why things are the way they are

They just are

I don't know why

People are so curious

They wanna chase it

They wanna taste it

They wanna get wasted

They're getting wasted

Wasted

They're getting wasted

Wasted in America

They're getting wasted in New Jersey

Wasted in Illinois

Wasted in California

And the Texans say "You 'all"

Wasted in America

They're getting wasted in America

They're getting wasted in America
