Down by Law - USA Today lyrics

rate me

Turn on your t.v. now my son

in north hollywood I see the guns are blazing

well you can't believe it

but you'd best believe it boy

this is your u.s.a. today

turn up the radio now my son

a car got jacked in compton, news at 11

just another day in the modern world

but I still love this land, o.k.?

well you can't believe it

but you'd best believe it boy

this is your u.s.a. today

take a look and you might see too much reality

you'll cut your mind along the way

on the pieces of a broken of a broken world today

see the pretty news announcer, son?

she looks so good with stories of decay and destruction

smiling like it was all a video game

and every anchor looks the same

well you can't believe it

but you'd best believe it

this is your u.s.a. today

look too hard then you will see too much reality

you'll cut your mind along the way

on the pieces of a broken world today

see the wars so far from here

brought into my room so crystal clear

words and images like these have got me on my knees

turn up your t.v. now my son

cause there's nowhere left to hide, nowhere left to run

well you can't believe it

but you'd best believe it

this is the u.s.a. today
