Pink Houses |
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 |
Oh but ain’t that America for you and me |
Ain’t that America we’re something to see baby |
Ain’t that America, home of the free |
Little pink houses for you and me |
Well there’s a young man in a t-shirt |
Listening to a rockin' rollin' station |
He’s got a greasy hair, greasy smile |
He says: lord, this must be my destination |
'cuz they told me, when I was younger |
Boy, you’re gonna be president |
But just like everything else, those old crazy dreams |
Just kinda came and went |
Well there’s people and more people |
What do they know know know |
Go to work in some high rise |
And vacation down at the gulf of Mexico |
Ohhh yeah |
And there’s winners, and there’s losers |
But they ain’t no big deal |
'cuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills |
The bills and the pills that kill |
