Superman was killed in Dallas

There's no love left in the palace

Someone took the Beatle's lead guitar

Have another Chevis Regal

Your twelve years old and sex is legal

Your parents don't know where or who you are

Used to be the hero of the ball game

Took the time to shake the loser's hand

Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try

walkdown to

In a world where people gave a damn

Great big wars in little places

Look at all those frightened faces

But don't come here we just ain't got the room

Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter

You cleanse your life with holy water

Hey we don't need to bathe we've got perfume

Used to be a knight in shining armor

Didn't have to own a shiny car

(strum)

'Cuz dignity and courage were the measure of a man

And not the drugs he needs to hide his scars

(strum harder)

And can your teacher read

And does your preacher pray

 And does your president have soul

 Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today

Mama took her speed

Daddy ran away

But you mustn't lose control

 You see the kids are wild we just can't tame 'em

 Do we have a right to blame 'em

(back to picking)

We fed them all our indecision

And raped their minds with television

But what the hell they're too young to feel pain

But I believe that love will save tomorrow

I believe that truth will make us free

(strum)

 Someone tried to say it and we nailed him to a cross

I guess it's still the way it used to be
