Whoa, whoa, whoa, well my dream has come true. Whoa, whoa, whoa, my vision has come true. [Verse] Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tats right away. I want it right now 'cause my generation don't like to wait. My future's determined by thieves, thugs and vermin, It's quite an excursion but it's ok. Everything's backwards in Americana, my way. Well fuck you! [Chorus]
