Lost In America Lyrics
I can't get a girl
cuz I ain't got a car
I can't get a car
cuz I ain't got a job
I can't get a job
cuz I ain't got a car
So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car
Don't you know where you are
Lost in America
I got a mom but I ain't got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and to be my real
mom and dad
Is that so bad
Oh, I think I've been had
Lost in America
Well, I live at the 7-11
Well, I'm tryin' to play this guitar
Well, I'm learning "Stairway to Heaven"
Cuz Heaven's where you are
I can't go to school
cuz I ain't got a gun
I ain't got a gun
cuz I ain't got a job
I ain't got a job
cuz I can't go to school
So I'm looking for a girl with a gun and a job
Don't you know where you are
Lost in America
cuz I ain't got a car
I can't get a car
cuz I ain't got a job
I can't get a job
cuz I ain't got a car
So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car
Don't you know where you are
Lost in America
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and to be my real
mom and dad
Is that so bad
Oh, I think I've been had
Well, I'm tryin' to play this guitar
Well, I'm learning "Stairway to Heaven"
Cuz Heaven's where you are
cuz I ain't got a gun
I ain't got a gun
cuz I ain't got a job
I ain't got a job
cuz I can't go to school
So I'm looking for a girl with a gun and a job
Don't you know where you are

Political satire mixed with humor... Great lyrics and tongue-in-cheeks too.. Great Alice Cooper's song!!
I agree!!!! ROCK ON MATE
"Im learnin stairway to heaven, coz heavens where you are" How cheezy and kool is that.
Essentially this song is about a guy who can't achieve his goals because of a circular set of obstacles.
classic cooper. (:
Alice Cooper is an intelligent man, so these lyrics are obviously stupid on purpose. Maybe he thinks we're all complete meatheads or something. Maybe someone dared him to write a song in three minutes or less.
Actually, everyone's a meathead were I live.
