Pollution - it's always around Sometimes up, sometimes down When I wake up in the morning No one tells me what to do One of these days I'm gonna tell them just exactly what I wanna do You're livin' in the USA Take another breath of that toxic waste Livin' in the USA - tryin' not to suck too much detergent Everytime you go to the store You read the directions what a bore Don't think I'm gonna live too long Just as long as I can sing my song You won't find it, you won't find You're gonna try but you just want do it You won't find, you won't find it We're all gonna die in the same rat trap You're livin' in the USA... I'm standin on the top of the Empire State Building Looking down on the scene Things are lookin' cloudy, boy Wondering where to read the masses But not to wait This is your country, man Hey let's all watch it decay in a dance ritual Yeah you can see ut i the air 'Cause you're dyin' in the USA - everybody knows it you just can't stop it You're dyin' in the USA - take another breath it may be your last Dyin' in the USA - walkin' in the street there's too much fear Dyin' in the USA - the living will be the dead We'll be on our way dying in the USA...
