We got some trouble in our own back yard
Things are are kinda tough, times are kinda hard
Got a lot of people livin' out in the street, people goin' hungry without nothin' to eat,
and in this land of plenty, this souldn't be goin' on
We got enough for everybody we just gonna have to pass it along
Well I'm glad about the fall of communism, I'm glad about the
Berlin wall, and I like seein' old Saddam bite the dust, in fact I'm glad about it all
And I believe in helping everybody,
but when it comes to all them foreign loans,
I think we oughta remember that charity begins at home

Yes it starts right now in (America, America,)
I know the sun is risin' on a better day
(America, America,) we got the power and we know the way
(America, America,) well let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you

Now I been tryin' to figure this out, but there's somethin' that I just don't know
How can you make things better when you
take our jobs, and send 'um down to Mexico?
And then there was this big shot, from the land of the risin' sun
He said the workin' people in America were lazy and dum
Well let me tell you somethin' Jack
The next time I go on a shopping trip, and take somethin' off of the rack,
if it don't say, "Made in the USA" I'm just gonna put it back
We can't leave it to the politicians, cause they don't do nothin' but talk,
and it's we the people that are gonna have to walk the walk

And we can do it right now in (America, America,)
hey I know the sun is risin' on a better day
(America, America,) yeah we got the power and we know the way
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you

Well we got the best dang farmers in the whole wide world
The fastest horses and the prettiest girls We got the Army, the
Navy, Air Force, and Marines, the mightiest fightin' force the world's ever seen
We the kinda people that can get thins done,
We're servin' notice that we're still number one
We got the nerve (We got the nerve), we got the will,
(We got the will), we are all together cause you know that we are still

(America, America,) well I know the sun is risin' it's a risin' on a better day
(America, America,) hey, hey we got the power and we know the way
