Superman was killed in Dallas  There's no love left in the palace  Someone took the Beatle's lead guitar  Have another Chivas Regal  Your twelve years old and sex is legal  Your parents don't know where or who you are  Used to be the hero of the ball game  Took the time to shake the loser's hand  Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try  In a world where people gave a damn    Great big wars in little places  Look at all those frightened faces  But don't come here we just don't got the room  Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter  You cleanse your life with holy water  Hey we don't need to bathe we've got perfume  Used to be a knight in shining armor  Didn't have to own a shiny car  'Coz dignity and courage were the measure of a man  And not the drugs he needs to hide his scars    Can your teacher read  Does your preacher pray  Does your president have soul  Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today  Mama took her speed  And daddy ran away  But you mustn't lose control  You see the kids are wild we just can't tame 'em  Do we have a right to blame 'em    We fed them all our indecision  And raped their minds with television  But what the hell  They're too young to feel pain  But I believe that love will save tomorrow  I believe that truth will make us free  Someone tried to say it and we nailed him to a cross  I guess it's still the way it used to be
