[G] [G]
But there's a black man with a black cat living in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate running through his front yard
You [F] know he thinks [C] he's [G] got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning out the evening slot
And he looks at her and says, darling, I [C] can remember when you could
[G] Stop a clock, oh, man, ain't [C] that America
You [G] and me, ain't [C] that America
[G] Something to see, baby, [C] ain't that America
Home of [D] the free, yeah
Little pink [C] houses, who you need
Built for [G] you and me
But there's a young man in a T-shirt
Less to a rockin' rolling station
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile
[F] Says, Lord, this must [G] be my destination
Cause they told me when I was younger
Boy, you're gonna be president
But just [F] like everything [C] else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda [G] came and went
Oh, but ain't [C] that America
You [G] and me, ain't [C] that America
Something [G] to see, baby, ain't [C] that America
Home [D] of the free, yeah
Little pink houses, [C] who you need
Built for you [G] and me
Well, there's people, more people
What do they know, know, know
Go to work and somehow rise
[C] And vacation down at the Gulf [G] of Mexico
And there's winners and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
[C] Cause a simple man, baby, pays the bills
And the [G] thrills and the pills that kill
[C] Us in America, you [G] and me
But ain't [C] that America
Girl, it's [G] something to see, baby, ain't [C] that America
Home [D] of the free
Little pink houses, [C] who you need
For you [G] and me
But [C] ain't that America
You [G] and me, [C] ain't that America
