In this dot.com bubble age some folks have all the luck
They can afford an SUV bigger than a garbage truck
They can get their news on cell phones, hitch a ride up to the moon
An’ sell tickets to a wide-screen movie in their livin’ room
But it don’t rock like Elvis and it don’t roll like Jerry Lee
An’ there’s no one to inform us like Walter Cronkite on tv
Any line that’s genuine is censored off the radio
And freedom’s just another word for a memory long ago
Corporate heads make enough to buy a great castle in the sand
With plenty left over to bribe each and every congressman
Though most kids can't afford a seat, hot dog or ice cream
Others inherit enough to buy their very own pro ball team
But it don’t rock like Elvis and it don’t roll like Jerry Lee
An’ there’s no one to inform us like Walter Cronkite on tv
Any line that’s genuine is censored off the radio
And freedom’s just another word for a memory long ago
There’s a lot’ta talk in this new century about spreadin’ democracy
While we sing about a land God once blessed from sea to shining sea, yeah
But it no longer rocks like Elvis and it don’t roll like Jerry Lee
An’ there’s no one to inform us like Walter Cronkite on tv
You know, every line that’s genuine is censored off the radio
And freedom’s just another word for a memory long ago
It's damn hard to find real country and good times just don't wan'na roll
And freedom’s just another word for a memory long ago
