America - Kurtis Blow

Dr. Martin Luther King

Square meal for every man and every woman

Slavery!

Dr. Martin Luther King

I’ve been to the mountaintop

Don’t you love America, my favorite country?

Don’t you love America, land of democracy?

Don’t you love America, my favorite country?

Don’t you love America, land of democracy?

The issues are global

I John Fitzgerald Kennedy, do solemnly swear

Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country

I Richard Nixon, do solemnly swear

The issues are global

Don’t you love America, my favorite country?

Germany

Don’t you love America, Russia land of democracy?

Africa

War

Well, from California to the coast of Maine

From the days of pickin' cotton and sugar cane

From the mountaintops to the rolling hills

Baseball, hot dogs and all the cheap thrills

There’s New York City and Kalamazoo

White, black, red, yellow and of course the Jew

Democracy is the land of the free

But we’re all gonna die if there’s a World War III!

Lebanon, Beirut, Iraq and Iran

Arabians, Russians don’t like Americans

Revolutionary terrorists swarm like bees

Take American hostages across the seas

But how long Reagan go for that?

Before he really gets mad and then he goes for a bat?

War!

Yes I’m talking World War III!

Destruction!

The end of you and me!

Good lord

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away

I see little hope for us

Good lord

Can we solve.

peace?

Can we solve.

love?

America

Unity

America

Peace
