Lost in America

Here's Mr. White, he's an executive
Here's Mrs. White, she's an executive just like him
They drive a white Seville
With bulletproof glass so they don't get killed when they're

Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming

Here's Captain Tom, he's with the C.I.A.
He keeps us safe and sound from foreign enemies
He sells them guns and bombs and secret plans so they can run when he

Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming

Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming

Lost in America, lost in America
Living in circles like we're dreaming, dreaming
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
