America Street Lyrics

Rubber on my tires making contact with the road

 Sign on the street post tells me which way I should go

 Riding down America Street funny that it's one way

 Riding down from uptown to where the buildings are broken down in decay

 

 America Street it's right nearby

 Land of the free and the brave

 If we can't work and make some change

 There won't be much of this land left to save

 

 It's a classic case of misdirection and slight of hand

 We watch while our deficit grows

 What a shame that we can't teach our kids to read

 Makes you wonder where all the tax money goes 

 

 Well America Street it's right nearby

 Land of the free and the brave

 And if we can't work and make some change

 There won't be much of this land left to save 

 

 Won't be much to save

 Excuse me sir pardon me can you spare some change

 Because it's cold and I live outside

 A thoughtful search into my pockets finds enough so he can rocket

 Right up to the bar and enjoy his lie

 

 America Street it's right nearby 

 Land of the free and the brave

 And if we can't work and make some change

 There won't be much of this land left to save 

 Won't be much to save...
