John Mellencamp - Pink Houses Lyrics
Theres a black man with a black catLiving in a black neighbourhoodHes got an interstate runnin through his front yardYou know, he think, that hes got it so goodAnd theres a woman in the kitchen cleanin up the evening slopAnd he looks at her and says: hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clockChorus:Oh but aint that america for you and meAint that america were someting to see babyAint that america, home of the freeLittle pink houses for you and meWell theres a young man in a t-shirtListening to a rockin rollin stationHes got a greasy hair, greasy smileHe says: lord, this must be my destinationcuz they told me, when I was youngerBoy, youre gonna be presidentBut just like everyting else, those old crazy dreamsJust kinda came and wentChorus:Oh but aint that america for you and meAint that america were someting to see babyAint that america, home of the freeLittle pink houses for you and meWell theres people and more peopleWhat do they know know knowGo to work in some high riseAnd vacation down at the gulf of mexicoOhhh yeahAnd theres winners, and theres losersBut they aint no big dealcuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills,The bills and the pills that killChorus:Oh but aint that america for you and meAint that america were someting to see babyAint that america, home of the freeLittle pink houses for you and meOh but aint that america for you and meAint that america were someting to see babyAint that america, home of the freeLittle pink houses for you and me
