Used to Be Loved Songtext

Superman was killed in Dallas
There's no love left in the palace
Someone took the Beatle's lead guitar
Have another Chivas Reagal
Your 12 years old and sex is legal
Your parents dont know where or who you are
Used to be the hero of the ball game
Took the time to shake the loser's hand
Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
In a world where people gave a damn
Great big wars in little places
Look at all those frightened faces
But don't come here we just don't have the room
Love thy nieghbor's wife and daughter
Cleanse your life with holy water
We don't need to bathe we've got perfume
Used to be a knight in shining armour
Didn't have to own a shiny car
Dignity and courage where the measure of man
Not the drugs he need to hide the scar
(woh ohh ohh...)
Can your teacher read
Does your preacher pray
Does your president have soul
Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today
Mama took her speed and daddy run away
But you mustn't loose control
Let's cut the class
I got some grass
The kids are wild we just can't tame 'em
Do we have the right to blame them
Fed them all our indecisions
We've wrecked their minds with television
But what the hell, they're too young to feel pain
But I believe that love can save tomorrow
Believe that truth can make us free
Someone tried to say it,
Then we nailed Him to a cross
I guess it's still the it used to be
