Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
[Verse 2]
The filmmaker cannot see
[Verse 3]
And the songwriter cannot hear
[Verse 4]
Yet, I see Mimi everywhere
[Verse 5]
Angel's voice is in my ear
[Verse 6]
Just tighten those shoulders
[Verse 7]
Just clench your jaw ’til you frown
[Verse 8]
Just don't let go
[Verse 9]
Or you may drown
[Verse 10]
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape, content
I don't own emotion
I rent
[Verse 11]
What was it about that night?
[Verse 12]
What was it about that night?
[Verse 13]
Connection in an isolating age
[Verse 14]
For once the shadows gave way to light
[Verse 15]
For once the shadows gave way to light
[Verse 16]
For once I didn't disengage
[Verse 17]
Angel, I hear you
I hear it
[Verse 18]
Mimi, I see you
[Verse 19]
I hear it, I hear it
I hear it my song
[Verse 20]
Alexi, Mark, call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film
[Verse 21]
I quit
[Verse 22]
Dying in America
At the end of the millennium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millennium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
