Prince - America Lyrics

Prince Lyrics

"America"

Yeah
Peace!

Aristocrats on a mountain climb
Making money, losing time
Communism is just a word
But if the government turn over
It'll be the only word that's heard

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

Little sister making minimum wage
Living in a one-room jungle-monkey cage
Can't get over, she's almost dead
She may not be in the black
But she happy she ain't in the red

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

Freedom
Love
Joy
Peace

Jimmy Nothing never went to school
They made him pledge allegiance
He said it wasn't cool
Nothing made Jimmy proud
Now, Jimmy lives on a mushroom cloud

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

Freedom
Love
Joy
Peace

Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
The bomb go
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
The bomb go boom
Teacher, why won't Jimmy pledge allegiance?
