Now I can't believe; what an absolute failure

(Verse)
I never thought about the universe,
It made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radioactive sights, imperialistic wrongs
And animal rights No!

(Pre Chorus)
Why think all the bad things when life is so good
Why (????????????) when there is always a could
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea
I've decided California - its foreign policy

I don't wont changes, unknown reactions
You're dilemmas are my distractions

(Chorus)
That's no way to go Franco un American
No way to go Franco un American
No way to go Franco un American
No way to go Franco, Franco un American

(Verse)
I never looked around, Never (???)
Then I read some how its in, now I always deep breathed
And now I can't sleep through years of apathy, all because
I read a little (?????????????)

(Pre Chorus)
I'm needed vegetation cos a fast food nation
Im wearing comfortable shoes cos of globalisation
Im watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth
Im listening to public enemy and raving youth

(Chorus 2)
I see no world peace, cos of (????????) forces
I eat no breath mints cos of (????????)
Now I cant believe what an absolute failure
The president laughing cos he voted for (?????)

That's no way to go Franco un American
No way to go Franco un American
No way to go Franco un American
Where can we go Franco un American

(Outro)
I wanna (??????????????)
Or hang down low with the nice Australians
I don't wanna be another (????????)
What are we gonna do Franco, Franco un American
