Pollution - it's always around  Sometimes up, sometimes down  When I wake up in the morning  No one tells me what to do  One of these days I'm gonna tell them just exactly what I wanna do  You're livin' in the USA  Take another breath of that toxic waste  Livin' in the USA - tryin' not to suck too much detergent  Everytime you go to the store  You read the directions what a bore  Don't think I'm gonna live too long  Just as long as I can sing my song  You won't find it, you won't find  You're gonna try but you just want do it  You won't find, you won't find it  We're all gonna die in the same rat trap  You're livin' in the USA...  I'm standin on the top of the Empire State Building  Looking down on the scene  Things are lookin' cloudy, boy  Wondering where to read the masses  But not to wait  This is your country, man  Hey let's all watch it decay in a dance ritual  Yeah you can see ut i the air  Cuz you're dyin' in the USA - everybody knows it you just can't stop it  You're dyin' in the USA - take another breath it may be your last  Dyin' in the USA - walkin' in the street there's too much fear  Dyin' in the USA - the living will be the dead  We'll be on our way dying in the USA...
