VERSE I
          G
There's a black man       with a black cat
livin' in a black neighbourhood
He's got an   interstate  running through his front yard.
             F             C         G
You know, he thinks he's   got it so good
And there`s a woman   in the kitchen   cleanin' up the evening slop.
           F
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin',
C                              G
I can remember when you could   stop a clock"
                       C                      G
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca,  for you and me!-
                       C                      G
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca,  somethin' to see, baby!
                       C                       G
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca,  home of the free!---
Yeah, little pink houses   for you and me,
Oh-- yeah, for you and me.
> Repeat Intro
VERSE II
Well there's a young man    in a T-shirt
listin' to a rockin' rollin' station.
He's got   greasy hair and a    greasy smile that says,
"Lord, this must  be my destination"
'Cause they told me   when I was younger, "Boy, you gonna be President"
But just like ev'rything else, those old crazy dreams just kinda   came
  and went
> Repeat Chorus and Intro
VERSE III
Well there's people     and more people.  What do they know?----
Got to work in some high rise and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico.
And there's winners   and there's losers,   but they ain't no big deal.
`Cause the simple man, baby, pays for the thrills,   the bills,
   and the pills that kill.
> Repeat Chorus
