George Jones - The U.S.A. Today lyrics

rate me

(MacRae, Hellard)

There’s homeless on the streets of every city

Big city crime in every little town

There’s people making money off of Jesus

And taxes dragging everybody down.

There’s politicians shredding up the truth

And farmers getting pulled up by their roots

And pushers telling little kids that highs the only way

Welcome to the USA today.

It’s true we’ve got our problems Lord knows we make mistakes

And every time we solve one ten others take its place

But you don’t see those refugees heading the other way

Oh, welcome to the USA today.

--- Instrumental ---

Spoken:

But you know there’re a thousand of happy homes for ever homeless

And opportunity still knocks on every door

Sang:

Our younger generation’s really shining

Much brighter than they’ve ever shone before

We’ve got the right to vote our leaders in

And we’ve got the right to vote ‘em out again

And we’re all free to speak our minds and not get locked away

Welcome to the USA today.

It’s true we’ve got our problems Lord knows we make mistakes

And every time we solve one ten others take its place

But you don’t see those refugees heading the other way

Welcome to the USA today.

Oh, welcome to the USA today....
