"I don't know a soul who's not been battered 
I don't have a friend who feels at ease 
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered 
Or driven to its knees 
But it's alright, it's alright 
For we lived so well so long 
Still, when I think of the Road we're traveling on 
I wonder what's gone wrong 
I can't help it, I wonder what has gone wrong"

- American Tune by Paul Simon
