(23?
There's a black man
with a black cat

livin' in a black
neighbourhood
He's got an interstate
runnin' through his
front yard
you know he thinks

he's got it so good I
And there's a woman
in the kitchen

cleanin' up
the evenin' slop
And he looks at her
and he says

Hey darlin'
I can remember when
you could stop a clock
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 tree
yeah
Oh yeah

for you and me
There's a young man

in a t-shirt
Listenin' to a rock

rollin' station
He's got greasy hair
and greasy smile

he says Lord this must
be my destination
'Cause they told me

when I was younger
But iust like
everything else
those old crazy dreams
iust kinda came and went
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 tree
yeah
Little pink houses

for you and me
on little houses

for you and me
Instrumental
47 seconds
Well there's people

and more people
Go to work

in some high rise
And vacation down

the Gulf of Mexico
ooh yeah
And there's winners

and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple
man baby

pays for the thrills,
the bills,
the pills that kill
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 tree
yeah
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 tree
yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
woah
