I don't want to remember   What happened way back when   And I dont really care about   What's said on CNN      They fill our heads   With all this bad news   From day to day   It doesn't really matter what the TV says   I'm not really listening anyway      A man on the street will ask you   What change you can spare   But you know that underneath it all   And all these ragged clothes   He's really just a millionaire   Who lives in a mansion   By the water   With a fantastic view   You don't wanna give up just one damn quarter   Now he'll just have to make due      The little boy up the road... is going to be a big star   He's going to make it in the world   With a fake smile   And a cheap guitar   He's gonna play a song   For the queen and for the king   And you know one day   This little kid   Is going to write a song   That the whole world will sing
