Well, we got trouble in the White House,
|
|
Poverty in the ghetto
|
|
When will it end?
|
Nobody knows!
|
|
People are asking now,
|
|
"How can you spend another dollar on the space race,"
|
"When families at home starting right in front of your face."
|
Where is your heart, America?
|
|
|
|
Thousand of jobless people walking the streets,
|
|
With no food or place to sleep
|
|
What will become of them, America?
|
|
|
|
I heard some people saying they had a solution,
|
|
"All we got to do is change the constitution!"
|
What about air pollution, America?
|
|
|
|
America!
|
Don't get me wrong, I still love ya,
|
|
In spite of all of all your troubles and woes,
|
|
In my eyes you're still the greatest of them all!
|
|
|
|
America!
|
I ain't ashamed to say that I love ya,
|
|
There ain't another place on Earth I'd rather be.
|
|
|
|
We won all the battles there were to win,
|
|
Pray that the war stay at an end,
|
|
Next it's the people's turn,
|
|
Listen to them, America!
|
|
|
|
America!
|
Don't get me wrong, I still love ya,
|
|
In spite of all of all your troubles and woes,
|
|
In my eyes you're still the greatest of them all!
|
|
|
|
America!
|
I ain't ashamed to say that I love ya,
|
|
There ain't another place on Earth I'd rather be.
