New American Language


She said love, love, is everything
I said okay, I guess, whatever
She said what does that mean
I said nothing, it’s just good to have a back-up 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 loving 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 harmony

I have a dream
I have a dream

For three years I did nothing except drive
I guess I needed to meditate
I guess I could have gone into a monastery
But they don’t let you listen to talk radio
I read your palm, I said you will find love
But it might not be that important
She said for that I will always hate you
She had the nicest ass I’ve ever seen
She said you don’t understand me
I said come on,, of course I do
She said, no, I really don’t think so
I said okay, well then I guess I don’t

Tourist towns can be a drag sometimes
But in non-tourist towns, you can get beat up
Just for looking 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 nice 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
Well, I think that you were right
She said I don’t remember saying nothing about love
It must have been a fantasy of the moment
I have adream of Michaelangelo on that ceiling
Working through weekend to make more money
I have a dream of replacing Steve Kerr on the Bulls
And being the little white guy they let shoot the threes

I dream of joining the mafia
And whether or not people like me is unimportant
I dream of your clock radio
Waking you up with my song
I dream of the lies I told you
Wishing they were right
I dream of this day with you
Wishing it was just beginning
I dream of a New American Language
I dream of new beginnings
I dream of saturation bombing
I dream mostly about love
I have a dream….
