lyrics

Well i never met a mishap
That wasn't named after me
The ghost of New York and
The sea of New Orleans
California took a long swim
Though the odds weren't good
Las Vegas couldn't stand to be
Without Hollywood
Boston lost its liberty
To a baseball team
In some ways it sounds like me
But i don't know what it means
Sooner or later no one will live
Where they used to live
Where could they be going
I wonder where they've been

They sold the southern states to Mexico
Texas didn't take it well
They didn't even get a phone call
Just a letter in the mail
China called dibs on Denver
The terrorists want D.C
Tibet wants its freedom
But no ones listening
So Tennessee started crying
We'd like to volunteer
But we need a paying job
We'll be back in a year

Sooner or later no one will live
Where they used to live
Where could they be going
I wonder where they've been

You see the reds
They want the universe
But we've got a base on the moon
But back there in old Palestine
there just aint enough room.
The Greeks they had philosophers
And the Spartans too
But we'd just as soon bomb Canada
For a little more food
Kansas committed suicide
Hung on its bible bells
But all its neighbors kept wondering
Just how it felt

Sooner or later no one will live
Where they used to live
Where could they be going
I wonder where they've been

Well all this kind
Of sight seeing
We've been at it for hours
When exactly did it happen
That this country was not our
I wanna see Anchorage
I wanna see Waikiki
The map showed the way but
There just wasn't much to see
Alaska froze to death you know
Hawaii drowned last year
You just couldn't kill that highway
In a million years.
Weren't you just saying
People were going missing
Well i think i know where they were going
You see its just up the street

But if you insist on driving
From the back seat
We're gonna miss our exit
To the city of Peace.
