G A
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 1]
G A7
I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon
C G
I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune
G A7
The lady right in front of me was old and brown
C G
The kids began to push her, they knocked her down
C G
I tried to help her out but there was just no way
C D7
A life ain't worth a damn on the street today
G A7
I passed the ambulance and the camera crews
C G
I saw the instant replay on the evening news
[Chorus]
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 2]
G A7
Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?
C G
Remove annoying hair from your upper lip
G A7
What's it really worth? Does she really care?
C G
What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?
C G
Hey what's the real future of democracy?
C D7
How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?
G A7
Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-high
C G
Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry?
[Chorus]
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 3]
G A7
Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
C G
Think about your life when you fill in the blank
G A7
Here's a game that's real if you wanna try
C G
One spot on the wheel that says you must die
C G
American roulette is the game we play
C D7
But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay
G A7
You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away
C G
But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say:
[Chorus]
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime time
Bb C

D F G

[Verse 4]
G A7
Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line
C G
There's where you can go if you land on the nine
G A7
Canada is nice if you're fond of ice
C G
If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice
C G
We interrupt this game for a news release:
C D7
A man has gone insane and been killed by police!
G A7
Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play
C G
'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A you must pass away
[Chorus]
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 5]
G A7
My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen
C G
Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine
G A7
The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!
C G
The general is saying that he's still unimpressed.
C G
"We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree
C D7
That things go better with democracy!"
G A7
The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,
C G
But strontium showers will be here and there
[Chorus]
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G
This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A
Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G
This is livin' the American way
[Verse 6]
G A7
Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall
C G
My reception ain't too good in a power stall
G A7
Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
C G
Chemicals in everything, including me
C G
They don't keep their promise in the promised land
C D7
It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man
G A7
But coming very soon, a show you'll die to see
C G
It's called "The End Of The World", on channel "C"
[Chorus]
