Not only is Elvis Costello one of the greatest songwriters of our times, he is a prophet, too!
Don't believe me? Well take a look at these lyrics from the song King of America, written in 1986.
He
thought he was the King of America
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine
Now I try hard not to become hysterical
But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying
I wish that I could push a button
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this hurtin' feeling disappear
Like it was common sense
He was a fine idea at the time
Now he's a brilliant mistake
