about

A song about America and Americans.

lyrics

Moderation, moderation, like a runaway train with no station
Moderation, moderation, it’s a problem across this nation

On the TV and in the papers, all the advertisements tell us
We need that new car and that big house, even though we can barely pay rent
No need to worry, we’ve got you covered, you can have it now with this offer
No money down and low payments, will get you nowhere fast except in debt

Moderation, moderation, like a runaway train with no station
Moderation, moderation, it’s a problem across this nation

I used to be thin, I used to exercise, now I just sit in front of my flat screen
I loved action, I sought adventure, now I just look forward to my dinner
A change it has to come, and come swiftly, or I might not live to see 50
I have to simplify, I can’t listen, to the message that’s in rotation

Moderation, moderation, like a runaway train with no station
Moderation, moderation, it’s a problem across this nation

Moderation, moderation, like a runaway train with no station
Moderation, moderation, it’s a problem across this nation
Moderation, moderation, like a no-holds-barred vacation
Moderation, moderation, such a problem across this nation

I wanna be rich, I wanna touch the sky
I wanna see it all before I die
Step on you going up, ain’t coming back down
Get in my way and I’ll just run right around
What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is too
You should have learned that in your precious school
I will never stop, I won’t ever quit
Until the whole damn world is a throne for me to sit
I’ll command you all and you better listen well
Or I’ll make your lives a living hell
