[C] [G]
[C] [G] And there's a woman in the kitchen, and she's got a black man with a black cat, and a black
man with a hood.
He's got an interstate running through his front yard.
You know, he [C] thinks he's [G] got it so good.
And there's a woman in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slob.
And he [F] looks at her and says, hey, darling, [C]
I can remember [G] when you could slob a blob.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America?
You and me.
Ain't that [C] America?
Something to [G] see, baby.
Ain't that America?
Home on the [D] free, yeah.
Little bank houses, [C] oh, you and me.
Oh, yeah.
You and [G] me.
[C]
Well, there's a young man in a T-shirt on the list to a rock and roll station.
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile.
He [F] says, Lord, [C] this might be my [G] destination.
He told me when I was younger, he said, boy, you're going to be president.
But [G] just like everything else, those [C] old crazy dreams kind of [G] came around.
Oh, but ain't [C] that America?
You [G] and me.
Ain't [C] that America?
Something [G] to see, baby.
Ain't [C] that America?
Home [D] on the free, yeah.
Little bank houses, [C] oh, you and me.
Oh, baby, [G] I thought you and me.

What do they know, know, know?
Go to work in some high rise [F] and vacation [G] down at Goldman.
Oh, yeah.
And there's winners and there's losers.
But that ain't no big deal.
Because the simple man, baby, [Em] pays the bills, the [G] bills, the bills that kill.
Oh, but ain't that [C] America?
You [G] and me.
Ain't [C] that America?
Something [G] to see, baby.
Ain't that [C] America?
Home [D] on the free, yeah.
Little bank houses, [C] oh, you and me.
Oh, baby, I thought you and [G] me.
