G
There's a black man with a black cat
Livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got a interstate runnin' through his front yard
F C G
You know he thinks he's got it so good
There's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
F C
And he looks at her and says hey darlin'
G
I can remember when you could stop a clock
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, but ain't America for you and me
C G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see, baby
C D
Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah
C
Little pink houses for you and me
[Riff 1]
[Verse 2]
G
Well, there's a young man in a t-shirt
Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station
He's got greasy hair greasy smile
F C G
He says Lord this must be my destination
Cuz they told me when I was younger
Said boy you're gonna be president
F C G
But just like everything else those old dreams kinda went away
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, but ain't America for you and me
C G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see, baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me

G
Well, there's people and more people
What do they know, know, know
Go to work in some high-rise
F C G
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah
And there's winners and there's losers
That ain't no big deal Cuz the simple man, baby
F C G
Pays the thrills, the bills, the pills that kill
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, but ain't America for you and me
C G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see, baby
C D
Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me, ooooh
