Lyrics
ANYTOWN USA BY ANDY BUDD
Wendy's, Outback & Applebees, IHOP, Dominos & KFC / Bur-ger King and Mic--key D's, Long John Silvers & Family Tree / Some are so blind they just can't see, but it looks like suburban sprawl to me / The Fashion Bug and Borders Books. All you've gotta do is take a look / Drive down any tho-rough-fare. Any town, anywhere / The homes and stores all look the .same. We're livin in' Anytown U.S.A.
THIS LITTLE TOWN'S NOT OURS ANYMORE / IT BELONGS TO ALL THE BIG CHAIN STORES / THE CHARACTER & BEAUTY IS ALL BUT GONE / HOW DID IT GO SO WRONG? / WE BOW OUR HEADS AT NIGHT TO PRAY / DON'T LET IT BE ANYTOWN, USA
Verizon, Sprint and Nextel Phones. More people, more schools & more big homes / Tractor Supply and Auto Zone, add some political overtone / And You'll feel like you're livin' in the Twilight Zone. This sprawl and all can't be condoned / A de-vel-op-er's free-for all, McMansions and suburban sprawl / Arrington's Farm is brand new a mall. / Every chain store has heard the call / Twenty new permits ..issued today / Right here in Anytown USA
THIS LITTLE TOWN'S NOT OURS ANYMORE / IT BELONGS TO ALL THE BIG CHAIN STORES / THE CHARACTER & BEAUTY IS ALL BUT GONE / HOW DID IT GO SO WRONG? / WE BOW OUR HEADS AT NIGHT TO PRAY / DON'T LET IT BE ANYTOWN, USA
Wal-Mart, Pet Smart & C.V.S., Stay at the Holiday Inn Express / Sears Essentials & Borders Books, Blockbuster Video & Athletes Foot / You don't need a P.H.D. Just look around and you will see / Fairfax or Los Angelese, / It all looks the same to me / Every town has them all. / Same chain stores and outlet malls / Raise your voice and have your say / Don't let it be Anytown U.S.A.
THIS LITTLE TOWN'S NOT OURS ANYMORE / IT BELONGS TO ALL THE BIG CHAIN STORES / THE CHARACTER & BEAUTY IS ALL BUT GONE / HOW DID IT GO SO WRONG? / WE BOW OUR HEADS AT NIGHT TO PRAY / DON'T LET IT BE ANYTOWN, USA
Raise your voice and have your say. Don't let it be Anytown, USA
