Mama's in the kitchen 
papa's on the porch 
junior's downstairs in the basement 
passin' on freedom's torch 
they're busy fighting 
fillin' all the jails 
but sure as the sun do shine in the mornin'-- 
there's drugs on sale 
They're getting wasted 
wasted 
they're getting wasted 
wasted in america 
Something's gone wrong with the tv generation 
i am the product of that situation 
so you say you're feelin' 
pinhead frustration 
c'mon join the nation 
They're getting wasted 
wasted 
they're getting wasted 
wasted in america 
Don't ask me why things are the way they are 
they just are 
i don't know why 
people are so curious 
they wanna chase it 
they wanna taste it 
they wanna get wasted 
They're getting wasted 
wasted 
they're getting wasted 
wasted in america 
They're getting wasted in new jersey 
wasted in illinois 
wasted in california 
and the texans say "you 'all" 
wasted in america 
they're getting wasted in america 
they're getting wasted in america
