Little Pink Houses lyrics
There's a black man with a black cat
Livin' in a black neighborhood He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard You know he thinks that he's got it so good And there's a woman in the kitchen Cleanin' up the evenin' slop And he looks at her and says "Hey darlin', I can remember when you could stop a clock" Oh, but ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America somethin' to see, baby Ain't that America home of the free Little pink houses for you and me There's a young man in a T-shirt Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station He's got greasy hair, greasy smile He says, "Lord, this must be my destination" 'Cause they told me when I was younger Boy, you're gonna be president But just like every thin' else those old crazy dreams Just kinda came and went Oh, but ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free Little pink houses 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 Ooh yeah, and there's winners and there's losers But they ain't no big deal 'Cause the simple man, baby, pays for the thrills The bills, the pills that kill Oh, but ain't that America for you and me Ain't that America somethin' to see baby Ain't that America home of the free Little pink houses for you and me
