Lyrics

America - Free

Yeah

Peace!

Aristocrats on a mountain climb

Making money, losing time

Communism is just a word

But if a government turn over

It'll be the only word that's heard

America, America

God shed his grace on thee

America, America

Keep the children free

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

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

America, America

God shed his grace on thee

America, America

Keep the children free

Free to change your mind

Free to go most anywhere, anytime

Be glad that you are free

There's many a man who's not
