MacArthur Park Revisited - The Bicycle Thief

In the decade of dysfunction

Well, I consider myself a true American

Yeah, I am just an ingrate

And I am not very intelligent

But I read a lot

And I make the same mistakes

End up in the same place

Over and over again

Yeah, I make the same mistakes

End up in the same place

Over and over and over

I have got it too good

Well I know that intellectually

But I don’t feel it much

And selfishness is a virtue

When I look around

I know that I don’t have enough

And I make the same mistakes…

And the park, it has a lake

And grass and trees and flowers

I’m a mess again

And the park is filled with kids

And they are happy playing

I’m a mess again

The park has got young love

A-kissin' and a-smilin'

I’m a mess again

And the park has got a lake

And grass and kids and love

And I’m a mess again

Listen, burn down all the rain forests

Kill all the dolphins

I don’t give a shit

Yeah, you can’t tell me nothin'

Well I am arrogant

I am powerful

And I make the same mistakes…

And the park, it has a lake…
