Look at ya 
Yeah, take a look in the mirror now tell me what you see 
Another satisfied customer in the front of the line for the American dream 
I remember when we was both out on the boulevard 
Talkin' revolution and singin' the blues 
Nowadays it's letters to the editor and cheatin' on our taxes 
Is the best that we can do 
Come on 

Look around 
There's doctors down on Wall Street 
Sharpenin' their scalpels and tryin' to cut a deal 
Meanwhile, back at the hospital 
We got accountants playin' God and countin' out the pills 
Yeah, I know, that sucks Ã??Ã?? that your HMO 
Ain't doin' what you thought it would do 
But everybody's gotta die sometime and we can't save everybody 
It's the best that we can do 

Four score and a hundred and fifty years ago 
Our forefathers made us equal as long as we can pay 
Yeah, well maybe that wasn't exactly what they was thinkin' 
Version six-point-oh of the American way 
But hey we can just build a great wall around the country club 
To keep the riff-raff out until the slump is through 
Yeah, I realize that ain't exactly democratic, but it's either them or us and 
And it's the best we can do 

Yeah, passionely conservative 
It's the best we can do 

Conservatively passionate 
It's the best we can do 

Meanwhile, still thinkin' 
Hey, let's wage a war on drugs 
It's the best we can do 
Well, I don't know about you, but I kinda dig this global warming thing...
