Punk Country rock    
 
 getting it right in rap
a wonderful life, reported
Hollywood has its vision
Knows what is right what's wrong
 
Hate Bush, the academy says yes
80,000 people show up
pay $74 to screw the marine
No different than 1968
 
What have we learned?
Jeans and jeeps to buy
The rif at its height
talent speaks to us all
 
You want change?
open a door for a punk
open your heart for your neighbor
kiss your little girl good night.

So I Get to write a saying
Well not to go too far
Really never could sing
Empty dreams crash cars

I get to live a life
Full of what empty of what
No real feelings no wife
All the world sees just a slut

I could be a teacher
I could change the plan
If I could only reach her
If I could be a man

Nothing to really say
I hear no melody
Who knows a way
Doors to open no Key
