Didn’t ask to be born here
Didn’t ride in on a screamin’ mule
Wasn’t dressed for the occasion
But my voice was ‘zactly right in tune
Seems we all been born for something
Though in different neighborhoods
We’re the Yahoo Generation
We’re from Planet Hollywood

Been starin’ at your iPhone for too damn long
Lookin’ for blame to answers proven wrong

All ya gotta do is:
Shine like a beacon
Fly like and eagle
Lies you believe in
You been fooled again
Camp on the right street
Dance to the offbeat yeah…
Be American

Sat down to write a love song
Somebody left on the TV
Didn’t miss the agitation
Current White House policy
I was there in ‘67
Vietnam was all the news
Respect your demonstration
You got everything to lose

Been starin’ at your iPhone for too damn long
Lookin’ for blame to answers proven wrong

All ya gotta do is:
Shine like a beacon
Fly like and eagle
Lies you believe in
You been fooled again
Camp on the right street
Dance to the offbeat yeah…
Be American

Who’s in charge of this smoke and mirrors
Give me my lunch for free
Tired of being your election’s doggy bowl
Show me opportunity…. All we gotta do is:

Shine like a beacon
Fly like and eagle
Lies you believe in
You been fooled again
Camp on the right street
Dance to the offbeat yeah…
Be American
