All day beneath the pale blue sky, the work's a bitch, that ain't no lie
I spend my nights in a tin-roof shack, when will this end?
I see my father next to me, he's been picking fruit since he was three
His eyes are glazed, his back is bent, when will this end?
I see the world on TV, what's it got to do with me
A magic world behind the glass where everything is free
I need to save, I need my kicks, I need the future, I need my fix
I hate the law and it hates me, when will this end?
I loved a girl, she had a son, that second part ain't too much fun
Up half the night, half dead all day, when will this end?
I see the world on TV, what's it got to do with me
A magic world behind the glass where everything is free
(Solo)
I tell you what I'm going to do, gonna get me a rod that's gold and blue
To hell with the future, I'm telling you, this is the end
Gonna grab me a piece of American pie, wanna live a little before I die
This is the end, I'm telling you, this is the end
