Plastic mouth melts in the sun
Running colors everyone
We're all in prison having fun

Perfect pictures hang around
Delusions swing you up and down
Falling out windows, climbing up trees
Illusions of tranquility

Locks and chains
Never felt a dream like you before
Even knocking door to door

Hereds of people choosing arms
Keeps us all in mass alarm
Murder movies make your day
Living in the U.S.A.

Cracked up people on the edge
Got no heroes, got no bread
Get the jitters, get the shakes
Heading for the final take

Locks and chains
Going to protect you
Locks and chains
Can't feel no more
Never felt a dream like you before
Even knocking door to door

Living in a dream is all the same
