hey jimmy
whats the matter with you tonight
nothing to do
cant think of anything to do
got to get out of here
go out and watch a fight
open up some heads
go for life
thats not dead
got to get some kixs instead
of just sitting around
thinking about whats wrong
with everything in your life
tonight
you cant see to well
whats going on
but theres something going on
that you dont know about
america
nobodys getting off
were all in this together
america
nobodys getting off
it must be now or never
america
nobodys getting off
must this drag on forever
america
nobodys getting off
were all in this together
hey jimmy
theyre calling you back
they want you to come back
and take out the garbage
they want to talk to you
about something
they found in your drawer
under a hustler magazine
they want to cool you out
and ignore your problems
they want you to stay in line
what happened to my baby
where did he go wrong
why cant he be like other kids
just go along
whats the matter
with these kids today
whats the matter
with these kids today
hey jimmy
you dont look so good tonight
are you depressed
or something
you look spaced out
isnt there something
you could be doing
instead of watching t.v.
or listening to the fm
dont you want to think about nothing
dont you want to do something
are you pretending
nothings wrong
america
it can happen here
