Winter in America lyrics
Uh from the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
And to the buffalos who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds looking for the rain
Looking for the rain
Just like the cities stagger on the coastline
In a nation that just can't stand much more
Like the forest buried beneath the highway, never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And now it's winter, winter in America
Yes now that all of the killers have been killed, sent away, Yeah
But the people know, the people know, it's winter
Winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting cause
Nobody knows what to say
Save your soul, lord knows from
Winter in America
The constitution, a noble piece of paper
With free society, a struggle but they died in vain
And now democracy is a ragtime on the corner
Hoping for some rain
It looks like he's hoping, hoping for some rain
And I see the robins perched in baron treetops
Just like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And now it's winter
Winter in America
Yes now that all of the killers have been killed, or betrayed, Yeah
But the people know, the people know, it's winter
Lord knows it's winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting cause nobody knows what to say
Save your soul
From a winter in America
Stick
And now it's winter
Winter in America
And now that all of the killers done been killed, sent away
The people know, the people know, it's winter
Winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting cause nobody knows what to say
And ain't nobody fighting cause nobody knows nobody knows
And ain't nobody fighting cause nobody knows what to say
Uh from the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
And to the buffalos who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds looking for the rain
