There's a black man   With a black cat 
Livin' in a black neighborhood  
He's got a interstate runin' through his front yard 
                                 
You know he thinks he's got it so good 
There's a woman    In the kitchen 
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop 
                             
And he looks at her and says hey darlin  
                                   
I remember when you could stop a clock

Chorus           
       
                                             
Oh but ain't America for you and me Ain't that America
                                                   
Somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free 
                       
Little pink houses for you and me

Verse 2 

          
There's a young man   In a t-shirt 
Listnin' to a rock n' roll station 
He's got greasy hair  greasy smile 
                                 
He says Lord this must be my destination 
Cuz they told me    When i was younger 
Said boy you're gonna be president 
                                              
Just like everything else those old dreams kinda went away 

Chorus 
                                                   
Oh well ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America 

                                                   
Somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free 
                       
Little pink houses for you and me

Verse 3 

Well there's people   And more people 
But do they no,no,no 
Go to work in the summer 
                                
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
And there's winners   And there's losers
Thinkin' no big deal  Cuz the simple man baby
                                         
Pays the thrills the bills,the bills that kill

Chorus x2
                                                  
Oh but ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America 
                                                  
Sometin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free 
                       
Little pink houses for you and me
