I can't get a girl cuz I ain't got a car
I can't get a car cuz I ain't got a job
I can't get a job cuz I ain't got a car
So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car
Don't you know where you are
Lost in America

Lost in America, lost
I got a mom but I ain't got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad

I can't go to school cuz I ain't got a gun
I ain't got a gun cuz I ain't got a job
