A Day In The Life Of America

We wake up each morning and start every day With coffee, espresso and grande lattes Race into traffic and bitch while we wait Mad at the world for making us late We punch in, then lunch in, then punch out again Rush home to clean up the messes we've left Microwave dinner, then put it to bed Tomorrow we'll do it all over again That's just a day, a day in the life of America Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America Each night is the same as the evening before Check all your e-mails and lock all your doors Half-hour break on a workout machine While surfing a 200 channel TV Then comes the weekend, the time we like best One day for catch up, the other for rest But how can we rest when we're so far behind An hour for God is all we can find That's just a day, a day in the life of America Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America Some people praise it and some people hate it This beautiful chaos we made But that's just a day, a day in the life of America Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America That's just a day, a day in the life of America Yeah, that's just the way we live our lives in America Oh, that's just a day, a day in the life of America Oh, that's just the way we live our lives in America That's just a day, a day in the life of America Oh, that's just the way we live our lives in America
