lyrics

The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
While I’m out here in a world of pure frustration
The economy Is looking good, but that don’t mean the things it should
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation

The woman on the news smile so wide
She’s got long blonde hair to match those deep blue eyes
She wants me to tagalong on a ride where everything goes wrong
The woman on the news smile so wide

I’ve been out here running like a hamster on a wheel
I voted for change, but there ain’t no new deal
It’s enough to make you wonder if the old ways still hold true
Has anybody seen the red white and blue?

They told me to stay inside the lines
Follow the rules you’ll be just fine
I did my time, paid my dues, all I got was these old blues
They told me to stay inside the lines

The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
When he’s done he’s leaving on a weeks vacation
Me I’m keeping my head down, it’s getting tough round this old town
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
