Prime Time - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U S A

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon

I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune

The lady right in front of

Me was old and brown

The kids began to push her

They knocked her down

I tried to help her out

But there was just no way

A life ain't worth a damn

On the street today

I passed the ambulance

And the camera crews

I saw the instant replay

On the evening news

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U S A

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

Well will you take the car

Or will you take the trip

Remove annoying hair from your upper lip

What's it really worth

Does she really care

What's the best shampoo that

I can use on my hair

Hey what's the real future of democracy

How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy

Hey hey the cost of life has gone sky-high

Does the deodorant

I'm using really keep me dry

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U S A

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way

Well spin the magic wheel

And try to break the bank

Think about your life

When you fill in the blank

Here's a game that's real if you wanna try

One spot on the wheel

That says you must die

American roulette is the game we play

But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay

You get to pass "GO"

You get to pass away

But before we start our show

Here's our sponsor to say:

"Well this is life this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U S A

Well this is life this is Prime time

This is livin' in the U S A

Well this is life this is Prime Time

This is livin' the American way"

Well down in Mexico

The laundry's on the line
