There's a lot of bluster masquerading as epic song here.
The chords and keys aren't really there.

He's going to predict what life will be like in 2017.

Is it about me having to live in a B&B in Willesden Green?

It is over.
That started out well but, ultimately, ran out of steam as he increasingly failed to capture the magic of the people he was trying to sound like.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Say Goodbye to Hollywood is still a classic, though.

In fact, I've never heard a bad song that has the word "Hollywood" in the title.

It's over.
Some sprightly and pleasing musical moments, but the overridingly smug, passive-aggressive, self-pitying self-regard and "New York minute" posturing is impossible to get past.
The man is a turd and despite his occasionally entertaining songs there's always something distasteful to me about - above all - his lyrics.
In a lot of fundamental respects he represents, for me, the worst of American.
