The Big Dipper Lyrics - Heaven 17

The national nightmare has begun 

Empire of fantasy with a dark gloved fist aloft 

While the challenger explodes 

Banks are failing coming down hard 

The way things are going I'm moving to the sun belt 

Stars and stripes, forever is a long time 

Don't ask me what's to be done 

Ask what you can do for your country ? 

The big dipper' coming down 

Miss america's lost her crown 

Guess I've spent too long in this old town 

No time to run and hide 

We've been taken for a ride 

America leads the world in teenage suicide 

I always thought it would have been great 

To be a part of the united states 

A land of unmissed opportunity 

A friend seems so far ahead 

A land safe on film 

Untouched by reality 

But like a well played record seemed to scratch 

The news that real life and cinema don't match 

Even forrest gump can't save us now 

The king of hollywood is dead 

I don't care what the president said 

I don't believe in everything I've read 

The big dipper's coming down 

New york's just a shanty town 

That distant sound is l.a. burning down 

The golden years of justice 

The golden years of youth 

The golden years of liberty 

The golden years of truth 

Laser bombin' 

Status seekin' 

Trail blazin' 

Frontier pushin' 

Space racin' 

Earth quakin' 

Jesus freakin' 

Serial killin' 

Cult crushin' 

Net surfin' 

Networkin' 

Fast talkin' 

Gun runnin' 

Fun lovin' 

America ! 

The big dipper' coming down 

Miss america's lost her crown 

Guess I've spent too long in this old town 

No time to run and hide 

We've been taken for a ride 

America leads the world in teenage suicide 

The big dipper's coming down 

New york's just a shanty town 

That distant sound is l.a. burning down 

The king of hollywood is dead 

I don't care what the president said 

I don't believe in everything I've read
