Skyhooks - Is This America ? lyrics

Macainsh Breaker, Breaker, have a good day today And a better day tomorrow Well keep your shiny side up and your dirty side down Get the pedal to the metal gonna leave this town The black girls are fighting in the streets And the white guys are givin' me the creeps I thought the Ivy League had died But it got loaded it got wired Went out playing for keeps Is this America Is this what I see Is this America Won't you show it to me One day in New York Sunlight hits the streets I thought I heard the sound of the second coming But I listened again and heard the subway humming Then one night in Dayton In a drunken haze I thought I saw the star of Bethlehem But it's just the light on a Holiday Inn Is this America That's trickin' me Is this America Is this what I see Is this America Black, red, white and blue Is this America Yeah, I wonder too You serve yourself in Philly oh yes you do No one around is gonna do it for you You look after yourself and clean up your own trash Cos Philly don't deliver till Philly gets the cash Philly don't deliver till Philly gets the cash The hometeam is loading all the bases Everybody's getting on everybody's cases I've seen the evil and the good But was I misunderstood When I yelled out for a smile on their faces How about a smile on your faces Is this America That's trickin' me Is this America Is this what I see Is this America Black Red White and Blue Is this America Yeah I wonder too
