Livin in the USA (feat. The McCrary Sisters)

Give me your tired, poor, huddled masses, get in line and come on in;

doesn’t matter who you are, except for the color of your skin;

Here we are now, livin in the USA

SHIP THE cocaine to Compton, Iran-Contra affair,

Nichols, Floyd, Castile, Ford, would you like to join me in a prayer,

Here we are now, livin in the USA

White cop, Black cop really doesn’t matter, if end up on the wrong end of a gun,

Black Lives trying to Matter, white man doesn’t wanna lose control,

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Schoolrooms turn to war zones, kindergarten blood is on our hands,

Takes more to get a drivers license, then to give a gun in a crazy man,

Here we are now, smiling in the USA

Tradin heroin for Oxy, addicted masses don’t mean a thing,

Lose a leg in the Middle East, 1 in six come home and have to beg,

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Come on man

(Solo)

Gurley, Graham, Martin, and Dorismond, do you even know those names?,

Dumas, Doucet, Bland, and Clark, just a lot more of the same,

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Williams, Robinson, Bell, M. Jones, are ya starting to see the pattern,

McDonald, Scott, Martin Luther King, don’t forget Alberta OJones,

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Byrdsong, Evers, Malcolm X, Brown, Rice, Garner, Arbery next, oh yeah

Massey, Farrow, Smith, and Till; Morrison, Patterson, and James Byrd too …

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Take me home Jonny

(Solo)

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Here we are now, livin in the USA

Here we are now, livin in the USA
