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...
