Tamed  -  Modern Art

Did you hear what just went down in D.C. today ?
They're pulling the wool over people like us, I'd say ...
What will become of it all anyway
Where's it headed anyway ...?

Yet their power prevails - though it constantly fails
They're caught in the act - then they're given the slack
They'll get away
If you or I, we'd have to pay ...

Did you hear what just went down in L.A.
5,000 people choked to death today
All the "corporate profit" - the "American way"
And, what can we say ...?

Yet their power prevails - though it constantly fails
They're caught in the act - then they're given the slack
They'll get away
If you or I, we'd have to pay ...

Did you hear what just went down in Key West ?
10,000 Cubans are our welfare guests
Well, friends don't you know that it's such a mess
I'm not prejudiced - but is this just a test ?

Yet their power prevails - though it constantly fails
They're caught in the act - then they're given the slack
They'll get away
If you or I, we'd have to pay ...

Did you hear what just went down in upstate Maine ?
Nuclear carelessness - acid rain ...
Don't you know that it's such a shame
Well, I say we're all being tamed ...

Did you hear what just went down below Galveston ?
50,000 draft dodgers - protecting their right to fun
Yeah, they're out there - on the run ...
Somewhere - free - under the sun ...
