Soul of America |
| The Alamo shuddered, Pearl Harbour as well |
| The Statue of Liberty wept as they fell |
| And echoes were heard in the Liberty Bell |
| When they came for the soul of America. |
| And the Manhattan skyline |
| Blew my mind the first time |
| We went down to the scene of the crime |
| Lookin' for the soul of America |
| Yeah, lookin' for the soul, lookin' for the soul. |
| I don’t see no Washington taking the strain |
| No Jefferson, Adams, Franklin or Paine |
| And that sure ain’t Geronimo running the game |
| Protecting the soul of America. |
| Just them wild boys, red, white and blue |
| Wild boys gotta see the mission through |
| Come hell or high water, my hat’s off to you |
| Let’s rock the soul of America |
| Oh, let’s rock the soul, let’s rock the soul. |
| Yeah, you can find souls all over this world |
| Lay underneath the stones of insanity |
| Yeah, you can find souls all over the globe |
| Except in the places they oughta be. |
| The sins of the fathers revisit the sons |
| The toil of tradition, the roar of the guns |
| It’s a God awful job but it’s gotta be done |
| Protecting the soul of America. |
| And them good old boys in their three piece suits |
| Feathering their nests while they’re rallying the troops |
| They cut off the flowers, don’t worry 'bout the roots |
| Eroding the soul of America |
| And I’m looking for the soul, I wanna find the soul. |
| There’s souls in the city, there’s souls in the sand |
| Putting up with the latest indignities |
| Yeah, you can find soul all over this land |
| Except in the places it oughta be |
| Except in the places it oughta be. |
| Frankie and Johnny in my neighbourhood |
| They don’t read the papers as much as they should |
| But if they had the time, they know that they would |
| And you’re lookin' at the soul of America. |
| Yeah, them wild boys and red, white and blue |
| Them wild boys gotta get the message through |
| Come hell or high water, we’re all rooting for you |
| And let’s rock the soul of America |
| Come on, let’s rock the soul, let’s rock the soul, let’s rock the soul |
| Rock me out, rock me out. |
| Oh yeah |
| Let’s rock the soul. |
| Ah huh, come on, yeah |
| Let’s rock the soul of America |
