chainsmoking in the u.s.a.
i bought another fuckin' pack today
a cup of coffee in palestine
a good friend and a bottle of wine
heavy metal at a puppet show
everybody needs a place to go
i'm gonna feed another habit today
chainsmoking in the u.s.a.
it's getting way too easy
it's getting way too easy
say it again
it's getting way too easy
for me and you to do what we want
i met my baby in the new e.c.
everybody needs a place to be
there's two faces on the tv screen
nice cheekbones and a ph.d.
something's missing in the u.s.a.
and everybody's gonna die someday
i wanna live with the golden rule
a girlfriend and a swimming pool
it's getting way too easy
it's getting way too easy
say it again
it's getting way too easy
for me and you to do what we want
gonna drive through the 50 states
hitch a ride if i'm not too late
leave a message with a collect call
a chain letter on a bathroom wall
it's getting way too easy
it's getting way too easy
say it again
it's getting way too easy
it's getting way too easy
for me and you to do what we want
say it again
