Wasteland - Dan Bern[00:00:00]

I saw the best of my[00:00:16]

Generation playing pinball[00:00:17]

Maked up and caked up[00:00:22]

And looking like some[00:00:23]

Kind of china doll[00:00:24]

With all of Adolf Hitler's moves down cold[00:00:29]

As they stood up in front[00:00:32]

Of a Rock and Roll band[00:00:33]

And always moving[00:00:39]

Upward and ever upward[00:00:40]

To this gentle golden promised land[00:00:42]

With the smartest of them all[00:00:49]

Moonlighting as a word processor[00:00:51]

And the strongest of them all[00:00:53]

Checking IDs outside saloons[00:00:55]

And the prettiest of[00:00:57]

All taking off her clothes[00:00:59]

In front of men whose eyes look like[00:01:01]

They were in some little hick town[00:01:03]

Near Omaha watching the police chief[00:01:05]

Run his car off the side of a bridge[00:01:08]

I saw men with dreams[00:01:13]

Like the ones I'd had[00:01:15]

Beg quarters outside the Seven-Eleven[00:01:17]

Till it got so they didn't affect me anymore[00:01:20]

Than the mailboxes I'd passed[00:01:22]

'Cept that sometimes [00:01:24]

I'd put somthing in the mailbox[00:01:25]

I'd had the wind at my back[00:01:32]

Now I felt it cold in my face[00:01:35]

And for an awful long time now[00:01:37]

You were the only one[00:01:40]

Who ever called me late at night[00:01:41]

And I really never noticed[00:01:43]

Till after you stopped calling[00:01:44]

And the emptiness [00:01:46]

Silence got so heavy[00:01:48]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:01:56]

Broken up in the promised land[00:02:00]

Broken up in Disneyland [00:02:03]

Broken up in the plastic land[00:02:07]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:02:11]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:02:14]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:02:17]

I saw dead Marilyn Monroe[00:02:27]

Strung up on every[00:02:29]

Street corner in Hollywood[00:02:30]

Like some two bit[00:02:31]

Whore offering a discount rate[00:02:32]

And I wondered how Joe Dimaggio felt[00:02:35]

I saw dead James Dean's ghost[00:02:39]

Wandering the sidewalk looking troubled[00:02:42]

And I wondered how his mama felt[00:02:45]

I saw signs that said [00:02:50]

"Headshots done for cheap"[00:02:51]

Signs that said "Extras wanted top dollars paid"[00:02:53]

Signs for 'Haircuts' and signs for 'Manicures'[00:02:56]

And signs for "Tanning salons"[00:03:00]

And signs for 'Wardrobe specialists[00:03:02]

Signs for "Cosmetic surgery'[00:03:04]

And signs for 'Assertiveness training'[00:03:06]

And I stopped to read them all[00:03:07]

And every single block[00:03:11]

Looked like every single block[00:03:12]

Looked like every single[00:03:14]

Block looked like every single block[00:03:15]

But she kept driving[00:03:18]

'Cause everyone else kept driving[00:03:20]

And 'cause gridlock is evil and[00:03:22]

Not knowing anywhere is evil[00:03:24]

And those who had money looked good[00:03:29]

But weren't too happy and[00:03:31]

Those who didn't have money[00:03:32]

Didn't look so good[00:03:34]

And weren't too happy either[00:03:34]

And in a city of three million [00:03:36]

Two hundred and sixty nine thousand[00:03:37]

Nine hundred eighty four [00:03:40]

Everyone was lonely[00:03:41]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:03:48]

Broken up in the promised land[00:03:52]

Broken up in Disneyland [00:03:55]

Broken up in the plastic land[00:03:59]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:04:03]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:04:06]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:04:09]

And I watched as everyone[00:04:19]

I knew spent their lives[00:04:22]

Trying to be watched on stage[00:04:24]

Watched on film or listened to on a record[00:04:26]

And they thought [00:04:29]

"Well maybe that way[00:04:30]

I could get a little love out of this life"[00:04:31]

And I watched as the best of my generation[00:04:35]

Abandoned their dreams and[00:04:39]

Settled for making a little money[00:04:41]

I watched TV read the papers [00:04:45]

Listend to the radio[00:04:49]

And made all the fancy scenes[00:04:50]

And said all the right words[00:04:52]

And wore all the right clothes[00:04:54]

And knew the names of the hip people[00:04:55]

But I still felt out of touch[00:04:58]

So I stopped watching TV[00:05:00]

And reading the papers and[00:05:01]

Listening to the radio[00:05:03]

And making the fancy scenes[00:05:04]

And saying the right words[00:05:06]

And wearing the right clothes[00:05:08]

And knowing the names of the hip people[00:05:09]

And I felt more out of touch[00:05:11]

Than ever but I didn't care anymore[00:05:13]

And I felt you slipping away and[00:05:20]

I felt myself slipping from you[00:05:23]

And I wanted more than anything else[00:05:26]

For it to rain for one whole day like it used to[00:05:27]

But all there ever was was sun [00:05:31]

Relentless sun hot beating sun[00:05:33]

And everyone wore their sunglasses[00:05:36]

And walked around like[00:05:38]

Flies under magnifying glass[00:05:39]

With their eyes removed[00:05:41]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:05:48]

Broken up in the promised land[00:05:51]

Broken up in Disneyland [00:05:54]

Broken up in the plastic land[00:05:58]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:06:02]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:06:05]

Broken up in the wasteland [00:06:09]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:06:12]

Broken up in the wasteland[00:06:15]
