The Asphalt Beach

It's me versus America
I declare war on behalf of Judy Garland
hey let's focus on family values
and daddy's new boyfriend
he's into bonding
he's into bondage
I don't believe we can believe anymore
so I chase the wind down the avenue
to the asphalt beach, it looks so pretty
need a cup of coffee at the rendezvous
there is no life outside the city (repeat 2 more times)
profound medication
a drug of choice for every generation
I've stopped pretending, it works better with lies
but who needs control, who needs a riot
I don't believe we can believe anymore
so I chase the wind down the avenue
to the asphalt beach, it looks so pretty
need a cup of coffee at the rendezvous
there is no life outside the city (repeat 2 more times)
make your confession in a telephone-booth
call 1-800-GOD for shame and pity
make an appearance with the satellite youth
there is no life outside the city (repeat 4 more times)
beauty is dead and I feel so pretty
there is no life outside the city (repeat 6 more times)
