What a drag it is The shape I'm in Well, I go out somewhere Then I come home again I light a cigarette 'Cause I can't get no sleep There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio That means that much to me All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh oh oh, oh There's trouble in America Oh oh oh, oh Yesterday was easy Happiness came and went I got the movie script But I don't know what it meant I light a cigarette 'Cause I can't get no sleep There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio That means that much to me There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio That I can believe in All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh oh oh, oh There's trouble in America Oh oh oh, oh There's panic in America Oh oh oh, oh Yesterday was easy Yes, I got the news Oh, when you get it straight You stand up, you just can't lose Give you my confidence, all my faith in life Don't stand me up Don't let me down No, I need you tonight To hold me, say you'll be here Hold me, say you'll be here Hold me, say you'll be here Hold All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh oh oh, oh She's just in America Oh oh oh, oh Tell me how does it feel? Tell me how does it feel? Tell me how does it feel? Tell me how does it feel?
