little pink houses lyrics

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

And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning' up evening slop

And he looks at her and says:

"Hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock"

Oh but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me, oh for you and me

Well there's a young man in a T-shirt

Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station

He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile

He says: "Lord, this must be my destination"

'Cause they told me, when I was younger

Sayin' "Boy, you're gonna be president"

But just like everything else, those old crazy dreams

Just kinda came and went

Oh but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses, for you and me, oh baby for you and me

Well there's people and more people

What do they know, know, know

Go to work in some high rise

And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico

Ooo yeah

And there's winners, and there's losers

But they ain't no big deal

'Cause the simple man baby pays the thrills,

The bills and the pills that kill

Oh but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me, ooo, ooo yeah

Ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, hey we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, oh the home of the free,

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Little pink houses babe for you and me, ooo yeah ooo yeah
