Europe Is Dying

And the man who stood there at the end of the line, he was cryin`
He said, Give me a penny, son, can`t you see Europe is dyin`
& I wished I hadn`t understood a single word he said
& I wished it hadn`t been as if he`d looked inside my head
So, little by little I ford my way up through the river
& the power that`s mine is the power of one who`s forgiven
& I wished I had some better news than what I just now read
& I wished I hadn`t understood a single word the newsman said
Yeah, I wished that I was wrong or even lyin`
But seems like Europe is dying
So I fly `cross the ocean & I find another man cryin`
He says `gimme a cent, son, America, America is dyin`
(Chorus 1+) & I wish we`d use a little more of what`s inside our
heads,
but, son, America`s dyin`
Cause it`s not always the stronger one who`s always in the right
& your money`s not a guarantee that you`ll win every fight
God I wished that I was wrong or ... but your money is dyin`
