INTRO The chords are: VERSE I There’s a black man with a black cat livin’ in a black neighbourhood He’s got an interstate running through his front yard. You know he thinks 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 darlin’ I can remember when you could stop a clock" Oh but ain’t that Amer-i-ca for you and me!- Oh but ain’t that Amer-i-ca somethin’ to see baby! 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
