VERSE I
G
There's a black man with a black cat
livin' in a black neighbourhood
He's got an interstate running through his front yard.
F C G
You know, he thinks he's got it so good
And there`s a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evening slop.
F
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin',
C G
I can remember when you could stop a clock"
C G
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca, for you and me!-
C G
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca, somethin' to see, baby!
C G
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca, home of the free!---
Yeah, little pink houses for you and me,
Oh-- yeah, for you and me.
> Repeat Intro
VERSE II
Well there's a young man in a T-shirt
listin' to a rockin' rollin' station.
He's got greasy hair and a greasy smile that says,
"Lord, this must be my destination"
'Cause they told me when I was younger, "Boy, you gonna be President"
But just like ev'rything else, those old crazy dreams just kinda came
and went
> Repeat Chorus and Intro
VERSE III
Well there's people and more people. What do they know?----
Got to work in some high rise and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico.
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,
and the pills that kill.
> Repeat Chorus
