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.
Meh, just because someone is talking about serious stuff in their music doesn't make them a serious lyricist. Besides I could care less, I just want to hear the damn song.
Vaguely......and I recall a time when it didn’t keep your credit card company in a state of ecstasy to see the charges for tix, parking, vending, ridiculously costly merchandise, a hotel room (at a casino, of course) and breakfast before you drive home sober the next day. Then again, who could catch a buzz from the watered-down booze they serve at the venue? (And b4 u go there, I rarely imbibe....I have no tolerance to alcohol!) 🤩 🧐 🤔
@@MichaelAllred About then what is Alice discussing, defining what problems is he bringing attention to? Lyricism doesn't have to be verbose and overcomplicated they just have to make a point, and or tell a continuous story. These lyrics are very well written, because they do both.

Met Alice in Adelaide SA in 2017. A true legend and a very wise soul... An inspiration for all and particularly those who have some sort of addiction ( let's be honest, we all have one ... a void that needs constant filling ... ). Music heals, on so many levels ... Oh yeah and choose life🌻💗🎵
On an iPod? I must have the model swiped in China and resold on the streets in Sochi to recoup the $$ they lost constructing the many, one-time-use, costly structures for a single Olympics. 😳 🏅 ⛸ ⛷ 🏂

The three comic books that went with this album were really well done too. I could picture it being a really fun rock musical with the comic being nearly storyboards, only with much more detail and dark beauty.
I love you Alice!!! 🔥😍❤️😍🔥 This song is so catchy and such a great message about our lost society! The Last Temptation is my favorite album for sure! 🤟🏻

My Uncles best friend drummed in this video. He died a couple of months later but he was badass, made this video fucking amazing. t(-_-t) ROCK ON DUDE!!!!!!!!!
This song rules but WTF does Cooper mean when he said,"I can't go to school cause I aint got a gun"????? It's a good thing that Lost in America didn't became a hit or Cooper would have been in deep doodoo.
@@kenterminateddq5311 many schools in america are so dangerous you have to have gun. It was sad reality in the 90s and it is still. I ain't american but i have read about that. And there is also an airport-type security checks in schools somwwhere in usa.
@@metalnuutti476 I went to school in the 90s and I never dealt with students with guns or gun detectors. I guess cause I live in Southern Cali. But still, Cooper's gun line is pretty dark and controversial.
The Last Temptation (the album this song came on) is one of my favorite Alice albums ever. If you don't own it, shame. I would go on Amazon or another site and pick it up, it is that good.

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!
fabulous song... i keep this on my list to listen to often. Met Alice in person in Lincoln, Ne years ago. Listen to him every week. This is a song that personifies TODAY in America
@alicecooper9553 i admire your long marriage, your energy at concerts, watched several interviews with you and wife. Took my 13 year old to one of your concerts many years ago. Listen to you all the time on you tube. at one concert, you signed my FACE. I was a secretary but i did NOT wash my face for 2 days. Fortunately my boss was a fan !! Carolyn
"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."
Watching "The Sandman" on Netflix made me think about the "Last Temptation" comic miniseries Neil Gaiman wrote with Alice. I loved the comics, but never got around to listening to the album. I should fix that.

28 years and it's still current.
I recall when this played on the radio, it was pretty heavy hitting back then.
I know sad isnt it
You still ain't got a job, car or girl?
Only lyric that doesn’t hold up is “and a house… with cable.”
@@lordhirudo5311 I have cable.....Internet
The lyrics about the kid without a dad are actually heartbreaking. Great points to be made in this song. Good job all around.
Yea because the government and corps want to keep it that way keep us poor and stupid.....and its working to many smoothbrains shooting crap
Hahahaha
Vnh n
Never had a dad growing up he cleared off not wanting to know us we had just my mum as kids.
This song speaks volumes to me.

this isn't that old.
"I can't go to school cause I ain't got a gun." How prophetic.

Lost in America the irony of that song is to true. 2021.
Um.. it was bad 11 years ago too. Nothing prophetic here.

Today more like...a house with Netflix lol
Maybe the beast anwswer!!!!!
Alice is the man! Freaking love this guy.
Fucking legend!
He's the king of hard rock as far as I'm concerned
Underrated lyricist.
It was written by Francesca Beghe & Marc Swersky
This song is NOT an example of quality lyrics.
@@MichaelAllred I mean it is, if you understand what Alice is discussing.
@@EmperorNero I understand. A simpleton could understand. The lyrics sound like they were written by a teenager

This is one of the great songs of all time! The whole conundrum of life is so well explained. Pure genius.
i love the lyrics - very cool humor and a difficult situation to be in :D
I love Alice. Such a great song
im happy he cleaned himself up, alcohol is dangerous
Those images of him in the late 70s and early 80s are disturbing. Alice looked like he had just come out of Auschwitz. Skinny as Hell and on the verge of death.
Listen to Alice's sing POISON. totaling mind blowing song
Just saw Alice play in 2023. Best show I've been to in a long time!
I went to the show on the night of Mother’s Day (she wanted a quiet night at home 😄). Third time I have seen them, just as good now as they always have been
This is not only for America but also for entire world. All people all culture. I'm lost in Italy me too.
I think rammstein with their (we all livivng in) Amerika says it too
Lost in Brazil
Laugh in eastern-europe one of the poorest county. The pays are as high as the rent
that's because italy goes after the american dream instead of be a leading example.
Alice, the ultimate cool.

We played this in 90s a lot. Lost in America ..Alice Cooper.
I was dating an American who moved to Oz and he liked the song, so I got the CD.
SeaBassVamp
Hmm seems like you really enjoyed that freaking song didn't you?
Alice Cooper is timeless! I grew up listening to him, so rad.
agree he's funny
I say Alice writes the songs!! He's incredible!! All his music is great it's a lot a fun!! He never stops the epicness lol
I will throw my iPod at the wall if I see one more Nicky Manaj ad on an Alice Cooper video. It's happened twice too many.
I'm laughing so hard because that's all they're showing for me today, too hahah. it's so bloody offensive!!

Seein' that once would be too many
So much shit today, can't stand it, it make me sick. I work for a webzine and we try to dig up new good bands. Check www.theunchained.net
I can't play this around my friends, because the lyrics are WHY too relatable. Like Spot on. It kinda fucks up the mood.
Thankful for Alice Cooper and his music. Alice Cooper’s band is always so damn good.
"I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad" - Well, everyone's mood just dropped a little.
Story of my life.
@@teevee6141 I'm sorry to hear that. I can't relate but I wish you strength chief!👍
Every child of divorced parents lived this to a lesser or greater extent. I was already 30 when this song came out,but identified heavily with it.
Me too@@teevee6141
This song is a great example of a Catch-22.
Accidentally met Vince in Austin in the late 90's and he was ...so cool. Very nice man!!
Always been a favorite...came out when i was in high school and it so represented who i was.. lost...lost in vancouver...lost in vancouver lol
This came out after I just graduated high school
This was when America rocked - look at us now 🙄
Things ain't going to get better with comrade Biden in office
I know right tell me About it
Straight up hip-hop head here. Hillbilly stoner dude was playing this at work one day and I felt this.
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!!!!!!
killer track from alice cooper this is for those who are lost in america.
"So I gotta find a girl with a job and a car" 😄 That line always cracks me up!
And a house, with cable.
HE is LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said!
So true!

I love you Alice Cooper 💜
I relate to this song so well thinking back to being a younger man. Alice seemed to sing a lot about that threshold between childhood and adult.
I was going down the highway playing this today!!! 🤘🤘
How this song was never a top 10 hit escapes me.
It's too real, that's why. The lyrical references to guns and school makes it too hardcore for radio...understandably.
It was the 90s during all the grunge shit.
Alice is the BEST!!!!!
I love you Alice!!!
🔥😍❤️😍🔥
This song is so catchy and such a great message about our lost society! The Last Temptation is my favorite album for sure! 🤟🏻
Another Great Anthem
Now this is a song that should have been number 1.
Alice Cooper est une légende du rock. Point à la ligne. Toujours un bon rock sauvage qui effraie les "bonne gens".

He's so funny!
This song is legen..... wait for it ....dary Legendary
RIP- Ricky Parent. Was a great drummer and an even better friend.
This song describes how I always felt about the system. Happens on every country on the world since always.
no, happens in america and in the countries stupid enough to follow their lead like Italy
...he always had ( & still does have ) a kick - ass band behind him !!!
He definitely does.
this is his best 80s/90s song ........
My Uncles best friend drummed in this video. He died a couple of months later but he was badass, made this video fucking amazing. t(-_-t) ROCK ON DUDE!!!!!!!!!
the chorus has been stuck in my head for 20 years and i forgot how crazy the rest of the song went...
"Preach on, Brother Cooper."
-Butt-Head

Yeah... yeah!!!
This song is criminally underrated. It’s the sh*t. 😎
one of the best singers their is
2022. Prophetic song.
This never gets old
Love the national anthem ending...
The Last Temptation (the album this song came on) is one of my favorite Alice albums ever. If you don't own it, shame. I would go on Amazon or another site and pick it up, it is that good.
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.........
So much truth brother
I'm lost in Brazil... Brazil is lost...
Com toda certeza
+Carlos Rabelo sim
Pensei a mesma coisa.
We're all lost in this shit hole Brazil
So fucking lost
This song describes to a tee how im feeling right now.
I just can't stop rocking..................
Seen alice cooper live in Sydney with motley crue best ever seeing alice live
My band is so doing a cover of this!!!!
Sing it Alice!. Classic stuff and still relevant for today's society on both sides of the Atlantic.
This pretty much sums it up for a lot of people! Including myself.

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

This song kicks ass!
Por temas como este es que amo el Hard Rock... Alice Cooper es uno de los mejores.!
"I got a mom, but I ain't got a dad"
That explains so much...
one of the best of Alice
I always liked this song.The Last Temptation album (which tihs song came off) is one of Alice's best albums.
bthere100 the best is alice cooper trashes the world

Brilliant song!!!
Superb... Alice Cooper and Neil Gaiman are all about,...STORIES. Get the song, get the story....dream on.
At 2:32, he says he ain't got a job 'cause he doesn't go to school. That's because he blew up his school in the song "School's Out"! ;)
♥️ this track!!!
"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."
Can relate.
🤘 Alice ☠️🏴
I used to sing "lost in a miracle" when I wuz a kid XD a small italian kid loving alice
I still have that comic book that went with the album
Alice Cooper and Neil Gaiman was a dream team!
Watching "The Sandman" on Netflix made me think about the "Last Temptation" comic miniseries Neil Gaiman wrote with Alice. I loved the comics, but never got around to listening to the album. I should fix that.
Catchy lil song I luv it
This song is amazing
I love you A.C.
Great riff & lyrics! Really great song. Worth enough as a classic as much as his 70's classics.
"I can't go to school cuz I ain't got a gun."
OOF. Timely and topical.
It's almost like he predicted something like Columbine 5 years before it happened.
