Prince & The Revolution America
[Intro]
Yeah
Peace!
[Verse 1]
Aristocrats on a mountain climb
Making money, losing time
Communism is just a word
But if the government turn over
It'll be the only word that's heard
[Chorus]
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
[Verse 2]
Little sister making minimum wage
Living in a one room jungle-monkey cage
Can't get over, she's almost dead
She may not be in the black
But she's happy she ain't in the red
[Chorus]
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
[Post-Chorus]
Freedom
Love
Joy
Peace
[Verse 3]
Jimmy Nothing never went to school
They made him pledge allegiance
He said it wasn't cool
Nothing made Jimmy proud
Now Jimmy lives on a mushroom cloud
[Chorus]
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free
[Post-Chorus]
Freedom
Love
Joy
Peace
[Outro]
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
The bomb go
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
The bomb go boom
Teacher, why won't Jimmy pledge allegiance?
