Intro : G, C ( 4 times)
G
There's a black man with a black cat living in a black neighborhood.
He's got an interstate running through his front yard.
You know he thinks he's got it so good
GAnd there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning up the evening slop.
FAnd he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock"
Oh but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America something to see baby
C DAint that America home of the free
CLittle pink houses for you and me ( Enter Drums )
( G,C,G,C 2 times)
GWell there's a young man in a tee-shirt
listening to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair and a greasy smile he says,
F C G"Lord this must be my destination"
Cause they told me when I was younger,
"Boy you're gonna be president"
F CBut just like everything else those old crazy dreams
just kinda came and went
( OH BABY FOR YOU AND ME ) ( G, C, G, C, G, C,

Gthe pills that kill
