lyrics

Growing up at the beach
lost at sea
Growing up in a box
far from free

I told my parents I'd be a professional baseball player
America's pastime
A real American dream
But how can I tell them?

The dream was dead before the Cold War
or Desert Storm
the era of Reagan and Bush
Clinton and Bush (and Obama)
passed down from Vietnam
Even before that
as the Nazi's flag was a-burning
we dropped those Dresden bombs
to put the fear of god into anyone
or any nation who went against the notion
that the Western Empire's the chosen one

Oh goddamn
I'm still waiting for those bombs to drop on me
