[00:00:00] Prime Time - Don McLean

[00:00:01] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:00:05] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:00:08] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:00:12] This is livin' the American way

[00:00:16] I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon

[00:00:20] I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune

[00:00:23] The lady right in front of

[00:00:25] Me was old and brown

[00:00:27] The kids began to push her

[00:00:29] They knocked her down

[00:00:31] I tried to help her out

[00:00:32] But there was just no way

[00:00:34] A life ain't worth a damn

[00:00:36] On the street today

[00:00:38] I passed the ambulance

[00:00:40] And the camera crews

[00:00:42] I saw the instant replay

[00:00:44] On the evening news

[00:00:45] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:00:49] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:00:53] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:00:56] This is livin' the American way

[00:01:00] Well will you take the car

[00:01:02] Or will you take the trip

[00:01:04] Remove annoying hair from your upper lip

[00:01:08] What's it really worth

[00:01:10] Does she really care

[00:01:11] What's the best shampoo that

[00:01:13] I can use on my hair

[00:01:15] Hey what's the real future of democracy

[00:01:19] How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy

[00:01:22] Hey hey the cost of life has gone sky-high

[00:01:26] Does the deodorant

[00:01:27] I'm using really keep me dry

[00:01:29] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:01:33] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:01:37] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:01:41] This is livin' the American way

[00:01:45] Well spin the magic wheel

[00:01:47] And try to break the bank

[00:01:48] Think about your life

[00:01:50] When you fill in the blank

[00:01:52] Here's a game that's real if you wanna try

[00:01:56] One spot on the wheel

[00:01:58] That says you must die

[00:02:00] American roulette is the game we play

[00:02:03] But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay

[00:02:07] You get to pass "GO"

[00:02:09] You get to pass away

[00:02:10] But before we start our show

[00:02:12] Here's our sponsor to say:

[00:02:14] "Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:02:18] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:02:22] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:02:25] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:02:29] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:02:33] This is livin' the American way"

[00:02:36] Well down in Mexico

[00:02:38] The laundry's on the line

[00:02:40] There's where you can go

[00:02:42] If you land on the nine

[00:02:44] Canada is nice if you're fond of ice

[00:02:48] If you land on the two

[00:02:49] Then we'll send you there twice

[00:02:51] We interrupt this game for a news release:

[00:02:55] A man has gone insane and been killed by police

[00:02:59] Now back to the game

[00:03:00] That's a dangerous play

[00:03:02] 'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A

[00:03:04] You must pass away

[00:03:06] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:03:09] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:03:13] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:03:17] This is livin' the American way

[00:03:20] My supper's on the stove the war is on the screen

[00:03:24] Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine

[00:03:28] The shot him in the chest

[00:03:30] Pass the chicken breast

[00:03:32] The general is saying that he's still unimpressed

[00:03:35] "We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree

[00:03:39] That things go better with democracy "

[00:03:42] The weather will be fair forget the ozone layer

[00:03:46] But strontium showers will be here and there

[00:03:50] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:03:53] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:03:57] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:04:01] This is livin' the American way

[00:04:04] Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall

[00:04:08] My reception ain't too good in a power stall

[00:04:12] Bombers in the air missiles in the sea

[00:04:16] Chemicals in everything including me

[00:04:19] They don't keep their promise in the promised land

[00:04:23] It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man

[00:04:27] But coming very soon a show you'll die to see

[00:04:30] It's called "The End Of The World" on channel "C"

[00:04:34] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:04:37] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:04:41] Well this is life this is Prime time

[00:04:45] This is livin' in the U S A

[00:04:48] Well this is life this is Prime Time

[00:04:52] This is livin' the American way
