rate me

There's a black man with a black cat<br>Living in a black neighbourhood<br>He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard<br>You know, he think, that he's got it so good<br>And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evening slop<br>And he looks at her and says: hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock<br><br>Chorus:<br>Oh but ain't that america for you and me<br>Ain't that america we're someting to see baby<br>Ain't that america, home of the free<br>Little pink houses for you and me<br><br>Well there's a young man in a t-shirt<br>Listening to a rockin' rollin' station<br>He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile<br>He says: lord, this must be my destination<br>'cuz they told me, when I was younger<br>Boy, you're gonna be president<br>But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams<br>Just kinda came and went<br><br>Chorus:<br>Oh but ain't that america for you and me<br>Ain't that america we're someting to see baby<br>Ain't that america, home of the free<br>Little pink houses for you and me<br><br>Well there's people and more people<br>What do they know know know<br>Go to work in some high rise<br>And vacation down at the gulf of mexico<br>Ohhh yeah<br>And there's winners, and there's losers<br>But they ain't no big deal<br>'cuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills,<br>The bills and the pills that kill<br><br>Chorus:<br>Oh but ain't that america for you and me<br>Ain't that america we're someting to see baby<br>Ain't that america, home of the free<br>Little pink houses for you and me<br><br>Oh but ain't that america for you and me<br>Ain't that america we're someting to see baby<br>Ain't that america, home of the free<br>Little pink houses for you and me
