{sov:Verse 1}
[G]There's a black man, with a black cat Living in a black neighborhood
He's got a interstate running through his front yard You know he thinks[F] he’s got [C]it so [G]good.
And there's a [G]woman, in the [G]kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
And he looks[F] at 'er and says Hey Darlin'[C] I remember when you could,[G] stop a clock
{eov}
{soc:Chorus}
But ain't that[C] America, for you and[G] me, Ain't that Ameri-[C]ca, somethin' to[G] see baby
But ain't that Amer-[C]ica, home of the fr-[D]ee
Little pink houses [C]for you and me, for you and me... [G] [C] [G] [*|] [G] [C] [G]
{eoc}
{sov:Verse 2}
[G]Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile, he says [F]"Lord this must be [C] my destin-[G]ation"
[G]Cause he told me, when I was younger, sayin' "Boy ya gonna be President"
But just like [F]everything else, those [C]crazy dreams, kinda came and [G]went

[G]Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
Go to work in some high-rise, and vac-[F]ation down at the [C]Gulf of Mex-[G]ico! (ooooh yeah)
And there's [G]winners, and there's losers, but that ain't no big deal
Cause the [F]simple man, baby, pays for [C]thrills, with bills, and [G]pills that kill
