Didn’t wake up dead or in jail / Some out-of-town boys been giving us hell / I got some bad news / Woke up missing you

My friends are all degenerates, they’re all I got / The generational story of dropping the plot / I heard the cops came / Cocky motherfuckers, ain’t they?

And Ice is gonna come bust down your door / Try to build a house no one builds no more / But got a telephone / Kids are all scared and all alone

The Boss stopped bumpin’, the rock stopped rolling / The middle finger’s rising and it won’t stop showing / I got some bad news / The fading of the red, white and blue

This land’s your land / This land mine too / Is this all true, man? / Or is it just bad news?

Well, he said, she said, mirrors and smoke / The right’s turned red and the left’s all woke / Got some bad news / I woke up missing you

My friends are all degenerates, they’re all I got / Every day on the news, someone else is shot / I got some bad news / The fading of the red, white and blue

I served eight years just to be told / That nobody cares and land’s all sold / I got some bad news / I woke up missing you

This land’s your land / This land mine too / Is this all true, man? / Or is it just bad news?

Didn’t wake up dead or in jail / Some out-of-town boys been giving us hell / I got some bad news / The fading of the red, white and blue
