they’ll let you have a colt 45. and they’ll supply lead. and all you have to do is shoot it. until someone ends up dead. they think they know what’s best for you. though they’ve never really met. and when it's over. when it's done. they easily forget. and this anthem’s for america. raise voices to her vision. the monuments of her brave new world. golf courses. casinos. and prisons. they’re planning for a future. when all will play their tune. and they’re hoping for a big return. so it’s sure to happen soon. they think they have the answers. they know they have the guns. and if you don’t come round. it’s just too bad. for everyone. and this anthem’s for america. raise voices to her vision. and the monuments of her brave new world. golf courses. casinos. and don’t forget the prisons. so double up. drive straight and hard. and remember all your isms. you’ve bought a slice of the brave new world. and this is where you’re living. and if you can swing a two iron and gamble all your bread. they’ll let you have that colt 45. and they’ll supply the lead. you do your best and your worst in one day. wishing all the time it wouldn’t be that way. deep down you know that it’s true. you can’t control what you do. just trying your best to get through. looking for ways to cross the line. searching for short cuts to get there on time. impersonating a business-like style. faking your very best confident smile. you can do it. and you can do it on cue. trying your best to get through.  false starts are better than no start at all. as he throws the juggler an extra ball. nearly always surprising. and hardly ever what you intended. as you over-extended. halfway to original. and all the way off the road you’ve defended. and now you’re back. and all the fences have been mended.
