Love, That’s America
[Verse 1]
Excuse me buddy, but
Excuse me lady, but
You foolin, ain'tcha?
Where can I be?
This ain't America, is it?
Oh Lord, where can I be?
This ain't America, is it?
[Chorus]
No, this ain't America
You can't fool me
[Verse 2]
This here's the home of the sheriff
Not the land of the free
In America, folks don't run through the streets
Blood streamin' from where they've been beat
And the parks are for the people
And the cops in the good ol' U.S.A
Don't think they some kinda gods, either
[Chorus]
Nah, this ain't America
You can't fool me
[Verse 3]
If you don't spit the right image
They just pull out their D.D.T
If they just don't like the way you look
They just law and order and trick
Just trip and name and frame and blame
Just legislate and club away
And just laugh louder and louder
[Chorus]
Nah, this ain't America
You can't fool me
No, this ain't America
You can't fool me
[Bridge]
Love (Love, that's America)
Open arms for every creature
Love (Love, that's America)
Open arms for every man
Love (Love, that's America)
Joy and peace and harmony
Love (Love, that's America)
Children with laughing eyes
Love (Love, that's America)
Yes, Lord, that's America
Love (Love, that's America)
The old eagle soarin'
Love (Love, that's America)
The old eagle wearin' a grin
Love (Love, that's America)
The old eagle soarin'
[Guitar Solo]
Nah, this ain't America
Nah, you can't fool me
[Alt. Chorus]
(God bless America)
(God bless America)
(God bless America)
(God bless America)
(God bless America)
[Verse 4]
Oh, this here's the land of the sniper
Not the home of the brave
Oh, say can't you smell
Or are you too smug to see?
Greed done pulled the plug
Your democracy's defrostin'
Something's goin' rotten
Smells like justice and liberty
[Chorus]
Nah, this ain't America
You can't fool me
[Verse 5]
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
Excuse me, but seriously
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
Which way to the good ol' U.S.A.?
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
This ain't nothing like the place I wanna be
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
Not as far as I can see
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
I don't care what you say
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
Hey, why are you pointing that this way?
[Chorus]
(You can't fool me) This sure ain't America, is it?
(You can't fool me) Nah, this ain't America
(You can't fool me) You can't fool me
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
[Outro]
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
Nah, this ain't America
(You can't fool me, you can't fool me)
You can't fool me...
