He living on in a flickering dream
VHS Paused on a grainy old screen
He open envelope, people nonplussed
Seconds to live, and the cameraman froze

After many hours of thought and meditation
I give you the story of the decade

He, setting fire to American Pride
Pulled out the gun and he shot and he died
People they ran and they screamed but in vain
Cameras saw it all held in the frame

Now my life has changed for no apparent reason
So I give you the story of the decade
