Alice Cooper - Lost In America Lyrics






I can't get a girl
Cause I ain't got a car
I can't get a car
Cause I ain't got a job
I can't get a job
Cause 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 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
Is that so bad?

Oh, I think I've been had

Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost

Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost

Well, I live at the 7-11
Well, I'm tryin' to play this guitar
Well, I'm learning "Stairway to Heaven"
Cause Heaven's where you are

[Guitar Solo]

I can't go to school
Cause I ain't got a gun
I ain't got a gun
Cause I ain't got a job
I ain't got a job
Cause I can't go to school
So I'm looking for a girl with a gun and a job
(And a house, with cable)

Don't you know where you are?

Hey man, you're...
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost

Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost

Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost

Lost in America
Lost in America
Lost lost lost lost lost lost
Lost lost lost lost lost lost
Lost lost lost lost lost lost
Lost lost lost lost
Lost lost lost
I'm lost

Alice Cooper Lost In America Comments
  1. W.... O....

    This is one of the great songs of all time! The whole conundrum of life is so well explained. Pure genius.

  2. A.... O....

    Bit like an Incel manifesto. Once again ahead of his time in predicting the future.

  3. B.... M....

    This could very easily be a Top 10 hit TODAY.
    Think about it.
    It was written years ago, but it is SO DEAD ON in 2019-20.
    Your thoughts here.........

  4. M.... ....

    Muito bom som🤘🤘

  5. J.... a....

    Is it bad that I laughed at this?

  6. R.... A....

    "Preach on, Brother Cooper."
    -Butt-Head

  8. Z.... B....

    Best song for school shooting

    Z.... B....

    ZeusGamer BG Wicked Young Man by Alice Cooper

  9. r.... ....

    worst song ever written - it's ridiculous.

  10. B.... S....

    Still the Truth of the Times, isn't it...?

  11. M.... K....

    This was when America rocked - look at us now 🙄

  12. k.... ....

    Awesome friggin tune. Alice does no wrong!

  13. J.... S....

    Alice is a very serious lyricist. He can throw in some humor. Like dead babies was misunderstood. It’s not some mindless crap. He’s talking about child abuse.

  14. P.... F....

    I'm lost in America- I have a job but can't afford a car so I'm looking for a man with a car

  15. R.... J....

    Who'se in for the 15 minute version of Iron Butterfly's Ala Gada LaVida, Baby?

  16. J.... H....

    Our dealership would be lost without Alice.

  17. s.... s....

    Beautiful as usual. "I can go to school cuz I dont have a gun" NO SHIT ALICE!

  18. P.... ....

    Rick Derringer's Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo anyone?

  19. g.... g....

    i am lost in america

  20. A.... A....

    such a timeless lyric

  21. j.... f....

    Sing it Alice!. Classic stuff and still relevant for today's society on both sides of the Atlantic.

  22. R.... B....

    It's the same as being lost in Australia !

  23. M.... p....

    0:56
    for me it's the opposite

  24. l.... ....

    Love Alice Cooper but I was disappointed when this came out. It reminds me of "Fight for your right to party" but with less energy and an uninspired chorus. The rest of the CD was much better.

  25. A.... A....

    "I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad" - Well, everyone's mood just dropped a little.

  26. a.... o....

    We need more truthful songs like this.

  27. J.... F....

    I loved the comics for this album

  28. A.... A....

    We are all lost!

  29. M.... P....

    Pretty much sums it up for me. Lost in Canada.

  30. W.... W....

    this dude can rock out out, when he wants to

  31. L.... ....

    Ugliest woman ever

  32. S.... ....

    In soviet russia america is lost in alice cooper

  33. R.... A....

    This song describes how I always felt about the system. Happens on every country on the world since always.

  34. C.... D....

    Uh.. hey beavis.. I think I found something out, or something..

    -What is it?

    -I think I can't go to school anymore.. uh.. because..
    I ain't got a job..

    -Wow, pretty cool! Me, too!

  35. C.... D....

    Preach on brother Cooper..

  36. A.... M....

    The king

  37. c.... c....

    1.5 million Alice fans....we're ok....there is still hope.

  38. j.... v....

    just saw him In Waterbury, ct at the Palace. Great as always !!!!! He's still the best entertainer EVER !!!!!!!

  39. A.... A....

    Coop tunes prevail all ages and time...not many songs, writers, musicians can do that...COOP CAN!
    Since 1970s for me

  40. A.... K....

    Very under-rated Alice Cooper song. I just saw him and his band in concert and they played this song which was a real highlight!!!!!!

  41. R.... ....

    the chorus has been stuck in my head for 20 years and i forgot how crazy the rest of the song went...

  42. J.... R....

    I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad. That right up there with Lemmy's hash browns and bacon strips great stuff

  43. D.... V....

    So I'm looking for a girl with a car and a job. Vincent ROCKS

  44. D.... S....

    Шальная молодость моя!!!

  45. O.... H....

    Long Live The Coop!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. S.... T....

    wonderfull

  47. L.... M....

    How did I go from watching EllenTube to listening to Alice Cooper?!?!

  48. C.... C....

    Alice Cooper Rocks!!

  49. f.... s....

    Over 20 years old. Still relevant today

  50. a.... ....

    The Last Temptation 24 years today!! (12th of July 2018)

    And this song has only 1,5 million views at the moment. Well I guess every song can't become a huge hit.

  51. N.... S....

    How I felt

  52. A.... ....

    See this is why there's sugar daddies in America.

  53. A.... ....

    When you ain't got no job it means you ain't getting anything. And if you finish school you still dont have a job. >_<

  54. L.... C....

    Superb... Alice Cooper and Neil Gaiman are all about,...STORIES. Get the song, get the story....dream on.

  55. S.... ....

    PREACH ON BROTHER COOPER PREACH ON!!! \m/

  56. a.... t....

    Brilliant, Alice was starting to be creative again with The Last Temptation, leaving behind his worst creative era, a time marked by ephemeral and light commercial success, with those crap songs like Poison, or Hey Stoopid. Many thanks to Alice, still got the CD and the comic book too.

  57. P.... B....

    Still going strong another legend

  58. M.... H....

    The lyrics about the kid without a dad are actually heartbreaking. Great points to be made in this song. Good job all around.

  59. E.... D....

    Alice Cooper is the best
    \

  60. L.... M....

    great song!!

  61. j.... ....

    Oh man it's the first time that I heard this song and the satire is incredible. Particularly the last guitar riff which I believe is a reference to your National Anteem. (I'm not American).

  62. L.... S....

    A couple of tempos faster this could be a great Ramones song!

  63. R.... V....

    Closing riff is the national anthem?

  64. F.... O....

    FUCKIN A

  65. b.... f....

    ...he always had ( & still does have ) a kick - ass band behind him !!!

  66. L.... M....

    Am Canadian but after listening to this ALICE for next president!!

  67. f.... ....

    Can't go to school cause I ain't got a gun

  68. R.... H....

    I like the lyrics, but the music is lifted from two sources. It ends on an Elvis Costello riff from Pump It Up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y71iDvCYXA

  69. m.... ....

    Wow how things have changed. Oh, no, wait, they haven't.

  70. T.... C....

    "If you don't have cable, you might as well, um...go to school or something"
    "He can't go to school, remember? He doesn't have a job or a girl or a car or cable"
    "He doesn't have cable? No way. I thought all rock stars had cable and stuff."

  71. B.... ....

    I love this song!

  72. I.... ....

    I can't get a girl cuz I ain't got Tinder
    I ain't got Tinder cuz I ain't got a card
    I ain't got card cuz I ain't got a job
    I ain't got a job cuz I just finish school

    The vicious circle of life.

    I.... ....

    IronEd636 and a house.... with cable.

  73. Z.... F....

    worthy of the nobel prize for literature-

  74. T.... K....

    I'm lost in Croatia.

  75. B.... M....

    What You NEED?

  76. J.... H....

    Saw him live @ the St. Louis CHeckerdome in 72. The big show days. Did the guillotine act and then they set his head on the top of the stage and put a mic by it, The head started singing. Awesomest show I ever saw. LOmg live Alice cooper!

  77. M.... P....

  78. W.... ....

  82. D.... E....

  83. T.... M....

    This song is part of an English assignment and Ima fail this class

  84. A.... Y....

    E.... A....
