I've told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A
Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I'm tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin' so I'm keepin' on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

I was born on this rock and I've been travelin' through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
You know I'm ready for the final surprise

There ain't no way around it, ain't nothing to say
That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin' darker outside

Showdowns, slow downs, lost and found, turn-arounds
Boys in their military shirts
Keep my eyes on the prize on the long fallen skies
Don't let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, power trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
The same old story with a new set of words
You got some heavy dues to pay

JC Setlist || Tunelist

Based on the live G version but with the studio 2nd verse.
The studio version is in F - detune or something for that I guess

I hafta play the riff the faker's way
Staying at the bottom of the fret board
I can't tell the difference
But I expect Steve would frown upon it.
In a great zebra bececked 1972 live version
(yeeted by YT unfortunately)
Steve is a able to play it the hard way
and sing it at the same time. Quite the dude.
