[Mark]
Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own
[Roger]
The filmmaker cannot see
[Mark]
And the songwriter cannot hear
[Roger]
Yet I see Mimi everywhere
[Mark]
Angel's voice is in my ear
[Roger]
Just tighten those shoulders
[Mark]
Just clench your jaw til you frown
[Roger]
Just don't let go
[Both]
Or you may drown
You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Where it's like the twilight zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion- I rent
[Both]
I quit!
Dying in America
At the end of the millenium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millenium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own
[Roger]
The filmmaker cannot see
[Mark]
And the songwriter cannot hear
[Roger]
Yet I see Mimi everywhere
[Mark]
Angel's voice is in my ear
[Roger]
Just tighten those shoulders
[Mark]
Just clench your jaw til you frown
[Roger]
Just don't let go
[Both]
Or you may drown
You're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're living in America
Where it's like the twilight zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millenium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion- I rent
[Both]
I quit!
Dying in America
At the end of the millenium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millenium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
