Decline and Fall

Christmas in America

The kids are asleep

Dreaming dreams of America

Where life is cheap

This restless shifting earth is gonna suck you in one day, little baby

come looking for the angels, but they've all flown away

And you can have, you can have fine clothes

Take you where you wanna go go go

And you can own a real fine home

Drowning in suburbia, your'e gone

Freeway killers and lost souls

Gang war in the barrio

Child whores of the golden state

Dying slowly on a piece of tape

Utopia can't wait

Just look away, look away

Its late in the day

For all these cars of gunmetal grey and gold

Driving home before they get old

Look away, look away

Decline and fall

Decline and fall

Decline and fall

Decline and fall

I'm the king of Beverly Hills

And I don't feel no ills

She's my queen, the blondest girl you've ever seen

See, shes the one who needs the pills

Perfect woman, perfect wife

Smiles under the surgeons knife

And she can have, she can have fine clothes

Take you where she wants to go go go

And she can own a real fine home

Drowning in suburbia, she's gone

All the palm trees and the ocean breeze

Eat all the food that you can eat

Keep all the things that you can keep

That you will never need

Decline and fall

Decline and fall

Decline and fall

Decline and fall
