In the decade of dysfunction
Well, I consider myself a true American
Yeah, I am just an ingrate

And I am not very intelligent
but I read a lot


And I make the same mistakes
End up in the same place
Over and over again

Yeah I make the same mistakes
End up in the same place
Over and over and over


I have got it too good
Well I know that intellectually

But I don't feel it much
And selfishness is a virtue
When I look around

I know that I don't have enough

And I make the same mistakes...


And the park it has a lake


And grass and trees and flowers
I'm a mess again
And the park is filled with kids

And they are happy playing
I'm a mess again
The park has got young love

A kissin' and a smilin'
I'm a mess again
And the park has got a lake

And grass and kids and love
And I'm a mess again


Listen burn down all the rain forests
Kill all the dolphins
I don't give a %#@!

Yeah, you can't tell me nothin'
Well I am arrogant
I am powerful


And I make the same mistakes...
And the park, it has a lake...
