The C Song

I don't want to remember
What happened way back when
And I dont really care about
What's said on CNN

They fill our heads
With all this bad news
From day to day
It doesn't really matter what the TV says
I'm not really listening anyway

A man on the street will ask you
What change you can spare
But you know that underneath it all
And all these ragged clothes
He's really just a millionaire
Who lives in a mansion
By the water
With a fantastic view
You don't wanna give up just one damn quarter
Now he'll just have to make due

The little boy up the road... is going to be a big star
He's going to make it in the world
With a fake smile
And a cheap guitar
He's gonna play a song
For the queen and for the king
And you know one day
This little kid
Is going to write a song
That the whole world will sing
