New American Language

She said love, love, love is everything

I said ok, I guess, whatever

She said what does that mean

I said nothin, it's just good to have a backup plan

She said I guess that means you don't got love

I said maybe I love everyone

She said that's the same as lovin no one

I said ok, I guess, whatever

And I have a dream of a New American Language

One with a little bit more Spanish

I have a dream of a new pop music

That tells the truth, with a good beat and some nice harmonies

I have a dream

Tourist towns are a drag sometimes

But in non-tourist towns you can get beat up

Just for lookin a little different

I guess the thing to do is just stay at home

Yeah but sometimes I think the thing to do

Would be to get a place way out in Missouri

Put down as many months rent as you can part with

Tell everybody else you went to France

I said remember that conversation we had about love

I said well, I think that you were right

She said I don't remember sayin nothin about love

It must have been a fantasy of the moment

I have a dream

I have a dream

I dream of joining the Mafia

And whether people like me is unimportant

I dream of your clock radio

Waking you up with my songs

I have a dream of a New American Language

I dream of new beginnings

I dream of saturation bombing
