America, Where Have You Gone

AMERICA, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE
Publishers: New Songs of Sea Gayle/Pier Five Music, Inc/Graham Sullivan Music, BMI

Verse 1
I'm not gonna try and smooth nobody's fur
I'll tell it just like it is
Things are not going the way that they should
in this great land where we live

Verse 2
I don't know who started this no prayer in school
the tail's really wagin' the dog
whatever happened to majority rules
America, where have you gone

Chorus
America where have you gone
all that I hold dear when did it disappear
Where are the values that made you so strong
America, where have you gone

Verse 3
If you wanna come here and pay taxes like us
we'll welcome you with open arms
just make it legal and learn english too
or else just stay where you are

Verse 4
When a man takes another man's hand in marriage
what in the __'s going on
The good book says it was Adam & Eve
not Adam and Steve somethings wrong

repeat chorus

Bridge
They've bailed out the banks, AIG and GM
but the workin' man picked up the tab
politicians have sent all the jobs overseas
It just makes me fightin' mad

repeat chorus
