G A Well this is life, this is Prime timeC G This is livin' in the U. S. A.G A Well this is life, this is Prime TimeC G This is livin' the American way [Verse 1]G A7 I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoonC G I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tuneG A7 The lady right in front of me was old and brownC G The kids began to push her, they knocked her downC G I tried to help her out but there was just no wayC D7 A life ain't worth a damn on the street todayG A7 I passed the ambulance and the camera crewsC G I saw the instant replay on the evening news [Chorus]G A Well this is life, this is Prime timeC G This is livin' in the U. S. A.G A Well this is life, this is Prime TimeC G This is livin' the American way [Verse 2]G A7 Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?C G Remove annoying hair from your upper lipG A7 What's it really worth? Does she really care?C G What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?C G Hey what's the real future of democracy?C D7 How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?G A7 Hey, hey, the cost of life has gone sky-highC G Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry? [Chorus]G A Well this is life, this is Prime timeC G This is livin' in the U. S. A.G A Well this is life, this is Prime TimeC G This is livin' the American way [Verse 3]G A7 Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bankC G Think about your life when you fill in the blankG A7 Here's a game that's real if you wanna tryC G One spot on the wheel that says you must dieC G American roulette is the game we playC D7 But no-one wants to have to be the one to payG A7 You get to pass "GO", you get to pass awayC G But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say: [Chorus]G A Well this is life, this is Prime timeBb C This is livin' in the U.
