"Last Summer In America" lyrics

Mock-apocalyptic in the third decade of this year's century
Lost on the path of least existence
Anyone who's claiming they're not afraid is lying where they stand
Let's enjoy the last summer in America

This one might be the end
Gradually trained to ignore all suffering
Unless it affects me or someone close
Every little ripple will go out in a snowball wave of apathy
Crushing everything you wanna save the most

Streets once all laid out in dirt now covered with concrete
So enjoy the last summer in America
You can't afford to sleep

Seems everyone wakes desperately uncertain of their god
Unaware our whole life that the kingdom's getting robbed
I got my prescription to take my head and crave there's some relief
Side effects are drowsiness, insomnia, and yellow teeth
Win an education if you don't get killed or play the lottery
So enjoy the last summer in America, just as seen on TV

Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Hang it from the firmament to be the proof so everyone will know
The emperors that you all worship never had no clothes
From the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam
Enjoy the last summer in America, it's now illegal to roam

Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

We don't want to work on Maggie's farm no more
Brother's such a dick
Oh, the value is diluted by reserve
Bait and switch a dream [?] they were still denied
Programmed in our heads, every moment of our lives

The bombs will burst in the rocket's red glare
Enjoy the last summer in America
This winter, we'll prepare (Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Enjoy the last summer in America (Ahh)
The land of thoughts and prayers (Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Enjoy the last summer in America (Ahh)
If you think that you can, woo (Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Enjoy the last summer in America, yeah
