We wake up each morning and start every day
With coffee, espresso and grande lattes
Race into traffic and bitch while we wait
Mad at the world for making us late.

We punch in, then lunch in, then punch out again
Rush home to clean up the messes we'd left
Microwave dinner then put it to bed
Tomorrow we'll do it all over again.

That's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yes that's just the way we live our lives in America.

Each night is the same as the evening before
Check all your e-mails and lock all the doors
Half-hour break on a workout machine
While surfing a 200 channel TV.

Then comes the weekend, the time we like best
One day for catch up, the other for rest
But how can we rest when we're so far behind
An hour for God is all we can find.

That's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yea, that's just the way we live our lives in America.

Some people praise it and some people hate it
This beautiful chaos we made.

But that's just a day, a day in the life of America
Yea, that's just the way we live our lives in America.

That just a day, a day in the life of America
Yea, that's just the way we live our lives in America.

Oh, that's just a day, a day in the life of America
Oh, that's just the way we live our lives in America.

That's just a day, a day in the life of America
Oh, that's just the way we live our lives in America...
