public enema number one

when it all comes down the line

and the lights they turn to greed

and you race off with your tires screaming

rolling thunder

and the people choke with poison

children cry in fear

but you've got your fast bullet

one way ticket outta here

fall on your knees today

and pray the world will mend its way

get to your feet again

refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

in the cities in the streets

there's a tension you can feel

the breaking strain is fast approaching

guns and riots

politicians gamble and lie to save their skins

and the press get fed the scapegoats

public enema number one

a million network slaves

in an advertising new age

i don't need a crystal ball to sell ya

your children have more brains

than your drug infested remains

california dreaming as the earth dies screaming
