Well ain't you heard
Shots rang out on the boulevard
And an empty word
Died for nothing in someone's heart
And ain't you seen
Those left living were left to die
On this dead end street
That bleeds into a broken sky
Today I read
They shot someone down for writing on the wall
And the ink it bled
But I don't feel nothing but nothing at all
I ain't surprised
It's just another tomorrow in the USA
Just turn your eyes
Ain't nothing you can do about it anyway
The path is paved
With broken bodies and broken glass
The victory parade
Musta passed 'em over on the overpass
And can't you see
This train to nowhere on a broken track
Ran out of steam
There's been no way forward for a long way back
There's been no way forward for a long way back
Well ain't you heard
It's another tomorrow in the USA
An empty word
Might as well get on your knees and pray
And if you heard
Why the hell didn't you open your mouth
Oh son I did
I went to talk and no words came out
I went to talk and no words came out
I went to talk and no words came out
