Times is tough but you're actin' like
we ain't got enough trouble already.
Money's short with no support, and we're
dancing in this isotope-filled city.
The world's round or so we've found,
but that ain't sayin' much...(it's a conspiracy!)
And liberty's true to me and you,
but with a god, how can we be free?

My American dollar
ain't what it used to be.
And my national pride
don't add up to what it used to be.
The world will never be the same
('Cause it don't ever change).
As Dollar Bill waves goodbye,
we'll do the same.

Micromeaningful individuals; we don’t know
Anything about ourselves
The fairy tale that we’re livin’ in
Has got us wondering what we sell
The joy of capturing a moment
Is lost on me…oh, well
‘Cause the American Dollar
Went straight to hell [straight to hell]

The American Dollar
Ain’t what it used to be
And my disdain for mankind
Is more than it ever was before
The world won’t ever change
Because it always stays the same
And as the future waves goodbye
We’re all to blame

You say it’s not your fault
You say we’re all alright
You say a bunch of bullshit
That’ll help you sleep at night
We’re telling lies and stories
For no other reason than peace of mind
Well I’m telling you right now
That you and I are out of TIME!

[le solo de la SAXOPHONO]

Cinderblocks and cigarettes
Pave the road that we walk
Recycled nonsense fills the airwaves
And builds the words of which we talk
Blowing smoke rings,
blowing buildings to the ground
Destroying
everything we ever found

The American Dollar
Is everything it ever wanted to be
And my belief in the cause
Is just as strong as it could ever be
We don’t need the world to change
‘cause things are fine when it stays the same
And as we welcome the money home
We’ll be the same
The same
The same
