I don't want to remember What happened way back when And I dont really care about What's said on CNN They fill our heads With all this bad news From day to day It doesn't really matter what the TV says I'm not really listening anyway A man on the street will ask you What change you can spare But you know that underneath it all And all these ragged clothes He's really just a millionaire Who lives in a mansion
By the water With a fantastic view You don't wanna give up just one damn quarter Now he'll just have to make due The little boy up the road... is going to be a big star He's going to make it in the world With a fake smile And a cheap guitar He's gonna play a song For the queen and for the king And you know one day This little kid Is going to write a song That the whole world will sing
