[00:17.32]There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood
[00:25.62]He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
[00:30.03]You know he thinks that he's got it so good
[00:36.17]And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop
[00:44.74]And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', I can remember when
[00:49.83]you could stop a clock."
[00:51.65]
[00:54.80]CHORUS:
[00:55.94]Oh but ain't that America for you and me
[00:57.39]Ain't that America somethin' to see baby
[01:01.29]Ain't that America home of the free
[01:07.51]Little pink houses for you and me
[01:21.05]There's a young man in a t-shirt
[01:26.09]Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
[01:31.05]He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
[01:33.88]He says, "Lord this must be my destination."
[01:40.05]'Cause they told me when I was younger
[01:44.21]"Boy you're gonna be president."
[01:49.77]But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
[01:53.00]Just kinda came and went
[01:54.57]
[02:00.80]:|| CHORUS
[02:09.02]
[03:05.51]Well there's people and more people
[03:11.64]What do they know know know
[03:15.00]Go to work in some high rise
[03:17.46]And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
[03:21.83]Ooh yeah
[03:26.57]And ther's winners and there's losers
[03:30.91]But they ain't no big deal
[03:35.70]'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills,
[03:38.66]the pills that kill
