Cooper, Alice - Lost in America (Live) Lyrics
[From "The Last Temptation" Album (1994)]
I can't get a girl
cause I ain't got a car
I can't get a car
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
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
mom and dad
Is that so bad
Oh, I think I've been had
Lost in America
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
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
Don't you know where you are
Lost in America

Cooper, Alice Lost in America (Live) Comments
This is one of the great songs of all time! The whole conundrum of life is so well explained. Pure genius.
Bit like an Incel manifesto. Once again ahead of his time in predicting the future.
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.........
Muito bom som🤘🤘
Is it bad that I laughed at this?
"Preach on, Brother Cooper."

Best song for school shooting
ZeusGamer BG Wicked Young Man by Alice Cooper
worst song ever written - it's ridiculous.
Still the Truth of the Times, isn't it...?
This was when America rocked - look at us now 🙄
Awesome friggin tune. Alice does no wrong!
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.
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
Who'se in for the 15 minute version of Iron Butterfly's Ala Gada LaVida, Baby?
Our dealership would be lost without Alice.
Beautiful as usual. "I can go to school cuz I dont have a gun" NO SHIT ALICE!
Rick Derringer's Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo anyone?
i am lost in america
such a timeless lyric
Sing it Alice!. Classic stuff and still relevant for today's society on both sides of the Atlantic.
It's the same as being lost in Australia !

for me it's the opposite
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.
"I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad" - Well, everyone's mood just dropped a little.
We need more truthful songs like this.
I loved the comics for this album
We are all lost!
Pretty much sums it up for me. Lost in Canada.
this dude can rock out out, when he wants to
Ugliest woman ever
In soviet russia america is lost in alice cooper
This song describes how I always felt about the system. Happens on every country on the world since always.
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!
Preach on brother Cooper..
The king
1.5 million Alice fans....we're ok....there is still hope.
just saw him In Waterbury, ct at the Palace. Great as always !!!!! He's still the best entertainer EVER !!!!!!!
Coop tunes prevail all ages and time...not many songs, writers, musicians can do that...COOP CAN!
Since 1970s for me
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!!!!!!
the chorus has been stuck in my head for 20 years and i forgot how crazy the rest of the song went...
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
So I'm looking for a girl with a car and a job. Vincent ROCKS
Шальная молодость моя!!!
Long Live The Coop!!!!!!!!!!!
wonderfull
How did I go from watching EllenTube to listening to Alice Cooper?!?!
Alice Cooper Rocks!!
Over 20 years old. Still relevant today
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.
How I felt
See this is why there's sugar daddies in America.
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. >_<
Superb... Alice Cooper and Neil Gaiman are all about,...STORIES. Get the song, get the story....dream on.
PREACH ON BROTHER COOPER PREACH ON!!! \m/
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.
Still going strong another legend
The lyrics about the kid without a dad are actually heartbreaking. Great points to be made in this song. Good job all around.
Alice Cooper is the best
\
great song!!
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).
A couple of tempos faster this could be a great Ramones song!
Closing riff is the national anthem?
FUCKIN A
...he always had ( & still does have ) a kick - ass band behind him !!!
Am Canadian but after listening to this ALICE for next president!!
Can't go to school cause I ain't got a gun
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
Wow how things have changed. Oh, no, wait, they haven't.
"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."
I love this song!
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.
IronEd636 and a house.... with cable.
worthy of the nobel prize for literature-
I'm lost in Croatia.
What You NEED?
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!
This is a great song
Saw him on Tuesday and this was in the set. A few surprises in the set actually lol
Listening to this while I can't get a job! I can't get a job because I got a felony!
Got it Alice. Listen closely so called leaders. The silent Catch 22 is killing!
143 people are lost in America
really?
Jajajjajajjajajajaj clever !!
This was not fun...it was...proph...phet...phetic
This song is part of an English assignment and Ima fail this class
This fuckin' shit is more relevant now than it was then
The Fistful Of Alice version is far superior to the studio version.
very good lyrics and music!!!!
this song=relatable af XD
Hehehe, yessir.
Underrated lyricist.
Easy Answers True.
It was written by Francesca Beghe & Marc Swersky
This song is NOT an example of quality lyrics.
What? He is the king of heavy metal.
always current
None of this is true don't you know where you are utube
Awesome track.
Uhuuu! É "noise"!
I don't like this song but the lyrics are fantastic.
I have those Alice Cooper comic books.
Truth>> Every child wants their mom and dad to be their real mom and dad... there are way too many stepmoms and stepdads.
Without Jesus Christ, I am lost... so are you.
The story of my life.
Sexy Alice!!
