All the founding fathers sewed their seeds
In the southern coast
All the godless heathens had to leave
To make a newer world
So we could live together in America
Justice is blinding so is love
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
All the stolen melodies they played
In the hit parade
All the power spirituals they fade
In a salute
So we could sing together in America
Polystyrene 100 dollar bills
To build a shining city on the hill
(Forgot them all!)
There’s no cure for pain or shame
You just have to be this way
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
If you steal and hustle don’t get caught
Gotta risk it all
Hang on every note that they read off
For the Powerball
