I don't want to remember

What happened way back when

And I dont really care about

What's said on CNN



They fill our heads

With all this bad news

From day to day

It doesn't really matter what the TV says

I'm not really listening anyway



A man on the street will ask you

What change you can spare

But you know that underneath it all

And all these ragged clothes

He's really just a millionaire

Who lives in a mansion

By the water

With a fantastic view

You don't wanna give up just one damn quarter

Now he'll just have to make due



The little boy up the road... is going to be a big star

He's going to make it in the world

With a fake smile

And a cheap guitar

He's gonna play a song

For the queen and for the king

And you know one day

This little kid

Is going to write a song

That the whole world will sing
