Jester Jack couldn't trick his magic back
The ambulance picked him, but he's $49 down
And Angie his angel, star-striped and spangled
White girl from Ohio couldn't keep Jack on the ground
And man tomorrow just ain't her friend
It's an American song, but the melody's wrong
And the astronauts are leaving again
But Angie's still right here
Oh Jack where you been?
And JT 1990's baby
Born in Burmingham, first trombone in the marching band
Lost Jesus last Sunday, skipped school on Monday
Told the government he was too hip to can
And man tomorrow just ain't his friend
It's an American song, but the melody's wrong
And the astronauts are leaving again
But JT's still right here
Oh Lord where you been?
So you found God in Bob Dylan
Tried to Teach Your Children
Look at you all grown up
Mama, Papa, I'm feeling a little down
And it ain't just your brother, but your mother's ex-lover
Only time will discover
That the world is feeling a little down
And man tomorrow just ain't our friend
It's an American song, but the melody's wrong
And the astronauts are leaving again
But we all still right here
Right where we've been
