Superman was killed in Dallas There's no love left in the palace Someone took the Beatles' lead guitar Have another Chivas Regal It's twelve years old and sex is legal Your parents don't know where or who you are REFRAIN: 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 In a world where people gave a damn Great big wars in little place Look at all those frightened faces But don't come here We just don't have the room Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter Cleanse your life with holy water You don't need to pay we've got a few REFRAIN 2: Used to be a knight in shining armor Didn't have to own a shiny car Dignity and courage were the measure of a man Not the drugs he needs to hide the scar, woh-oh-oh-oh Can you picture me? Does your preacher pray? Does your president have soul? Have you heard a real good ethnic tale today? Mama took to speed and daddy ran away But you must'nt lose control Let's cut the class I got some grass The kids are wild, we just can't tame them Do we have the right to blame them? Pethanol are in to snitch them We've rigged their minds with television But what the hell, they're too young to feel pain REFRAIN 3: But believe that love can sing tomorrow Believe the truth can make us free Someone tried to say it, then we nailed Him to the cross I guess it's still the way it used to be.
