lyrics

Hey, did you think you were gonna be saved?
Hey, did you think to throw all your cares away
Yeah, did you find what you were looking for
At the end of the carnage of that year long televised war

Hey did you dignity grow back?
Hey, did you get that high-paying job you lost back?
Hey, was your wholesale buying worth it
At the end of the chaos of that year long televised circus
Was it all worth it?

I do believe that Bob said the old roads are fading
But you can work to pave the way
What would my grandfather say, given that,
The old roads and the old ways are never coming back?

Hey, you really think they give a shit about you?
Hey, you really thing they know all the pain you went through?
Hey will he sacrifice himself, or a minute of worry, or a dollar of his wealth?
What does he know of hell?

I don’t know what you know,
I’ve just always been told if it’s too good to be true
Baby you better let it go
And so a grifter came along
singing American songs, my friends and I had seen this scam,
But so many more just sang along.
