There's trouble in the streets
I stay inside and watch
The massing of the creeps
They're all around the block
I said the city's on its knees
There's killers on the run
There's junkies in the trees
I said the fat one's got a gun
And he's feeling so American
He's feeling so American
He's feeling so American
He's feeling so American

The sun is on the nod
Night is falling from its lap
And there is no word for god
Just a feeling that you lack
So you buy a love machine
But the fucker doesn't run
Said we're living in an age
Of obsolescent fun
And we're feeling so American
Feeling so American
Feeling so American
Feeling so American

And the night just stops
Like a giant clock
This is the last frontier
Begins and ends right here
This is the last frontier
Begins and ends right here
This is the last frontier
Begins and ends right here

Said the radio is howling
Riders on the Storm
And I feel like disemboweling
The darkness in my Ford
But I’m losing all control
I said my fingers start to slip
The car is gonna crash
Through the fence and off the cliff
And I'm feeling so American
I'm feeling so American
I said I'm feeling so American
Yes I'm feeling so American
I said I'm feeling so American
Yes I'm feeling so American
Feeling so American

This is the last frontier
Begins and ends right here
This is the last frontier
Begins and ends right here
Begins and ends right here
Begins and ends right here
Begins and ends right here
Begins and ends right here
