The New World Songtext
von X

Honest to goodness, the bars weren′t open this morning
They must have been voting for a new president or something
"Do you have a quarter?" I said "yes" because I did
Honest to goodness, the tears been
Falling all over this country's face

It was better before, before they voted for what′s-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for what's-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world

Live for an automobile, Alabama
Windshield wipers, Buffalo, New York
Gary, Indiana, don't forget the Motor City
Longhorn, you see now all they need is


Don′t forget the Motor City
This was supposed to be the new world
Don′t forget the Motor City
This was supposed to be the new world

All we need is money, just give us what you can spare
Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes and twenty or thirty beers
A turkey on Thanksgiving like alms for the poor
All we need are the necessities of course

It was better before, before they voted for what's-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for what′s-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world

Don't forget the Motor City
This was supposed to be the new world
Don′t forget the Motor City
This was supposed to be the new world
