Songs About / On: AMERICA

There’s a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighbourhood
He’s got an interstate runnin’ through his front yard
You know, he think, that he’s got it so good
And there’s a woman in the kitchen cleanin’ up the evening slop
And he looks at her and says: hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock read more »

No politics will see me right

Born down by the factories, cross the Jersey City line.
Raised on radio, just a jukebox kid,

Where good people worked hard
And everyone got along
I thought things were fine, here in America
But I was wrong read more »

--- Desmond Child / Robbie Seidman
Somewhere in America
The tour bus roads through the dead of night
The sleeping towns fade out if sight
You know what I mean read more »

In America today, every 25 fucking seconds
someone is viciously raped, someone is brutally violated;
250 times a day, someone is murdered, someone's life is taken,
In America; This is America, This is America, and I love America,
I love America! read more »

[Intro:]
In America today,
every 25 fucking
seconds someone
is viciously raped,
someone is
brutally violated;
250 times a day,
someone is murdered,
someone's life is taken,
In America;
This is America,
This is America,
and I love America,
I love America!

No remorse for the pain
Look into the eyes of death
Strong man cannot endure
Big god of this earth

Liar!
Big god, no god!

Take back this life
Give back this world
"Woe to you
of earth and sea"
Big god will always be

Liar!
Big god, no god!
Burn!

Hammers crush all our lives
Just like clockwork
They'll crush our lives read more »
