G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G This is livin' the American way [Verse 1]
G I was ridin' on the subway in the
A7 afternoon
C I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a
G funky tune
G The lady right in front of me was
A7 old and brown
C The kids began to push her, they
G knocked her down
C I tried to help her out but there
G was just no way
C A life ain't worth a damn on the
D7 street today
G I passed the ambulance and the
A7 camera crews
C I saw the instant replay on the
G evening news [Chorus]
G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G This is livin' the American way [Verse 2]
G Well will you take the car, or will
A7 you take the trip?
C G Remove annoying hair from your upper lip
G A7 What's it really worth? Does she really care?
C What's the best shampoo that I can
G use on my hair?
C Hey what's the real future of
G democracy?
C How're we gonna streamline the
D7 bureaucracy?
G Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone
A7 sky-high
C Does the deodorant I'm using really
G keep me dry? [Chorus]
G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G This is livin' in the U. S. A.

C G This is livin' the American way [Verse 3]
G A7 Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
C G Think about your life when you fill in the blank
G A7 Here's a game that's real if you wanna try
C G One spot on the wheel that says you must die
C G American roulette is the game we play
C But no-one wants to have to be the
D7 one to pay
G A7 You get to pass "GO", you get to pass away
C But before we start our show,
G here's our sponsor to say: [Chorus]
G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
Bb C This is livin' in the U. S. A.
D F Well this is life, this is Prime time
G A This is livin' in the U. S. A.
Bb C Well this is life, this is Prime Time
D F G This is livin' the American way [Verse 4]
G A7 Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line
C G There's where you can go if you land on the nine
G A7 Canada is nice if you're fond of ice
C G If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice
C G We interrupt this game for a news release:
C A man has gone insane and been
D7 killed by police!
G Now back to the game, that's a
A7 dangerous play
C 'Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A
G you must pass away [Chorus]
G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G This is livin' the American way [Verse 5]
G A7 My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen
C Pass the bread and butter while I
G watch the Marine
G A7 The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!
C The general is saying that he's
G still unimpressed.
C "We had to burn the city 'cause
G they wouldn't agree
C That things go better with
D7 democracy!"
G A7 The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,
C G But strontium showers will be here and there [Chorus]
G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
C G This is livin' in the U. S. A.
G A Well this is life, this is Prime Time
C G This is livin' the American way [Verse 6]
G Well livin' in the country watchin'
A7 shadows fall
C My reception ain't too good in a
G power stall
G A7 Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
C G Chemicals in everything, including me
C They don't keep their promise in
G the promised land
C It's getting mighty hard to find an
D7 honest man
G But coming very soon, a show you'll
A7 die to see
C It's called "The End Of The World",
G on channel "C" [Chorus]
G A Well this is life, this is Prime time
Bb C This is livin' in the U. S. A.
D F Well this is life, this is Prime time
G A This is livin' in the U. S. A.
Bb C Well this is life, this is Prime Time
D F G This is livin' the American way
