Don't  breathe too deep, Don't  think all day
Dive  into work, Drive  the other way
That  drip of hurt, That  pint of shame
Goes  away, Just play  the game
 You're living in America
 At the end of the millennium
 You're living in America
 Leave your conscience at  the tone
 And when you're living in America
 At the end of the millennium
  (CHORUS-RIFF1 HERE)
 You're what you own
The  filmmaker cannot see, And  the songwriter cannot hear
Yet  I see Mimi everywhere, Angel's  voice is in my ear
Just  tighten those shoulders, Just  clench your jaw til you frown
Just  don't let go, Or you  may drown
 You're living in America
 At the end of the millennium
 You're living in America
 Where it's like the twilight  zone
 And when you're living in America
 At the end of the millennium
  (CHORUS-RIFF1 HERE)
 You're what you own
So  I own not a notion
 I escape  an ape content
I  don't own emotion-  I rent
What  was it  about that night
Connection-  In an isolating  age
For  once the shadows gave  way to light
For  once I didn't disengage
Angel-  I hear you- I hear  it
I  see it- I see it my film!
Alexi-Mark, Call  me a hypocrite
 I need  to finish my Own film
 I quit!
 Dying in  America
 At the end of the millennium
 We're dying in America
 To come into our own
 And when you're dying in America
 At the end of the millennium
  (CHORUS-RIFF2 HERE)
 You're not alone
I'm  not alone
I'm  not alone
 Possibly the most appalling end to a song ever but up to then it's
 pretty good. Tab is perfect although the C5 in the chorus sounds
 a little dissonant but it shold be fine.
