A protest song a la “Sweet Home Alabama,” America takes on the banks that created the great recession, the politicians that want to Make America Great Again, and the guns that kill the innocent and the heroic with impunity. It’s a big, swinging roll down the Mississippi with a clear-eyed anger towar...
[Verse 1]
On the banks of the Mississippi
They build ships too big to fail
In the banks in New York City
They invent new ways to steal your money and run
Set the poor against the poor
Send healthy young men to war and never look back
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't pine for the days of old
Segregation and our women can't vote
Said a hallelujah for the ways we've grown
We still got a long way to go
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey
Only in America
Hey, fields of gold
Only in America
Hey, blue mountains roll
Only in America
Hey, we feel at home
Only in America
[Verse 2]
On the streets where kings have marched
In history's long and lonely arc
We hide our problems in the dark
Until them bullets fly and strike our heroes down
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I don't pine for the days of old
Segregation and our women can't vote
Said a hallelujah for the ways we've grown
We still got a long way to go
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey
Only in America
Hey, fields of gold
Only in America
Hey, blue mountains roll
Only in America
Hey, we feel at home
Only in America
[Bridge]
Conman in the highest office in the land, goddamn
Says make America great again, I know
I thought we were trying to be the best we ever been
I kneel, I stand for what I believe in
[Outro]
Can you believe?
