New American Language

She said "Love, love, love is everything"

I said, "Okay, I guess, whatever"

She said, "What does that mean?"

I said, "Nothin', it's just good to have a backup plan"

She said, "I guess that means you don't got love"

I said, "Maybe I love everyone"

She said, "That's the same as lovin' no one"

I said, "Okay, I guess, whatever"

And I have a dream of a New American Language

One with a little bit more Spanish

I have a dream of a new pop music

That tells the truth, with a good beat and some nice harmonies

I have a dream

Tourist towns are a drag sometimes

But in non-tourist towns you can get beat up

Just for lookin' a little different

I guess the thing to do is just stay at home

Yeah, but sometimes I think the thing to do

Would be to get a place way out in Missouri

Put down as many months rent as you can part with

Tell everybody else you went to France

I said, "Remember that conversation we had about love"

I said, "Well, I think that you were right"

She said, "I don't remember sayin' nothin' about love

It must have been a fantasy of the moment"

I have a dream, I have a dream

I dream of joining the Mafia

And whether people like me is unimportant

I dream of your clock radio

Waking you up with my songs

I have a dream of a New American Language

I dream of new beginnings

I dream of saturation bombing

I dream mostly about love
