Lyrics for Pink Houses by Mellencamp John Cougar:
| | | Artist: | Mellencamp John Cougar |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Pink Houses | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 191 | | | | 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 everything 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
