lost america

calling out for change

the american way

find somebody else to blame

let's sing a song

a better day

out on every street

bright lights

big screens

is this really what it means

oh

mother pray

let us pray

for l.a

lost america

let us pray

for l.a

lost america

from new orleans to bangladesh

from the east back to the west

come with us and be the best

make an enemy of all the rest

summer of '69

a dream that barely survived

all these force bled alike

lead us astray

let us pray

for l.a

lost america

let us pray

for l.a

lost america

let us pray

for l.a

lost america

let us pray

for l.a

lost america

wave the flag and grab your gun

another war has begun

now it's all been said and done

we all lose

nobody won

lost america

lost america

lost america
