New American Language

Lyrics

She said "Love, love, love is everything"
 I said, "Okay, I guess, whatever"
 She said, "What does that mean?"
 I said, "Nothin', it's just good to have a backup plan"
 ♪
 She said, "I guess that means you don't got love"
 I said, "Maybe I love everyone"
 She said, "That's the same as lovin' no one"
 I said, "Okay, I guess, whatever"
 And I have a dream of a New American Language
 One with a little bit more Spanish
 I have a dream of a new pop music
 That tells the truth, with a good beat and some nice harmonies
 I have a dream
 ♪
 Tourist towns are a drag sometimes
 But in non-tourist towns you can get beat up
 Just for lookin' a little different
 I guess the thing to do is just stay at home
 Yeah, but sometimes I think the thing to do
 Would be to get a place way out in Missouri
 Put down as many months rent as you can part with
 Tell everybody else you went to France
 ♪
 I said, "Remember that conversation we had about love"
 I said, "Well, I think that you were right"
 She said, "I don't remember sayin' nothin' about love
 It must have been a fantasy of the moment"
 I have a dream, I have a dream
 I dream of joining the Mafia
 And whether people like me is unimportant
 I dream of your clock radio
 Waking you up with my songs
 I have a dream of a New American Language
 I dream of new beginnings
 I dream of saturation bombing
 I dream mostly about love
