pierce pettis - tinseltown lyrics

home of the homeless
free of the land who’ve lost their farms and houses to the banker’s sleight of hand
businessmen in german cars talking on telephones, while downtown at the shelter children eat from metal bowls

the young and the pointless
disciples of tv who grew up ‘neath the sky blue tube of mediocrity
global village idiots
the young and the rest, well, they’re taking the place of the human race in the land i love the best

america, america, you’ve trickled down on me
and you’ve crowned your good with hollywood from sea to shining sea
and the great communicators are manipulating you
’cause no one back in tinseltown gives a d-mn about the truth

maybe we’re just lazy, safe here in our wombs
still listening to the echoes of the baby boom
surrounded by these luxuries we seem to think we need
we’re the richest country in the world, but we are poor indeed

america, america, how you’ve trickled down on me
and you crowned your good with hollywood from sea to shining sea
and the great communicators, they’re just manipulating you
’cause no one back in tinseltown gives a d-mn about the truth

home of the homeless
free of the land who’ve lost their jobs to workers in korea and j-pan
the rich only get richer and the poor, they do not exist
and we betray our consciences with a judas kiss

america, america, you’ve trickled down on me
and you’ve crowned your good with hollywood from sea to shining sea
and your great communicators, they’re just manipulating you
’cause no one back in tinseltown gives a d-mn about the truth
and the great communicators, oh, they’re just fooling you
’cause no one back in tinseltown gives a d-mn about the truth
children, no one back in tinseltown gives a d-mn about you
