歌词
[Verse 1]
There's a Black man with a black cat
Livin' in a Black neighborhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
You know he thinks that he's got it so good
[Verse 2]
And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock"
[Chorus]
Oh, but ain't that America for you and me?
Ain't that America somethin' to see, baby?
Ain't that America home of the free, yeah?
Little pink houses for you and me
Oh, yeah, for you and me, aye!
[Verse 3]
Well, there's a young man in a T-shirt
Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
He says, "Lord, this must be my destination"
[Verse 4]
'Cause they told me when I was younger
Sayin', "Boy, you're gon' be president"
But just like everything else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went
[Chorus]
Oh, but ain't that America for you and me?
Ain't that America somethin' to see, baby?
Ain't that America home of the free, yeah?
Little pink houses for you and me
Oh, baby, for you and me
[Verse 5]
Well, there's people and more people
What do they know, know, know?
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh, yeah
[Verse 6]
And there's winners, and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man, baby, pays the thrills
The bills, the pills that kill
[Chorus]
Oh, but ain't that America for you and me?
Ain't that America somethin' to see, baby?
Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah?
Little pink houses for you and me
Ooh, ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
Ain't that America for you and me?
Ain't that America, hey, well somethin' to see, baby?
Ain't that America, oh, well the home of the free
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little pink houses, baby, for you and me
[Outro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
