That’s America Today
(Words and Music by Randy Lotz)
Grindin’ out a job they hate
buying things to compensate
back seat ridin’ never drivin’,
blaming others always whining
That’s America today
Vote for him ‘cause he’s black
don’t worry about the skills he lacks
A reputation of bein’ shady
elect her now she’s a lady
That’s America today
Dummy down the kids at school
being a thug is oh so cool
The word police come down on you
If you voice your point of view
That’s America today
Killin’ off the middle class
illegal immigrants cut your grass
layin’ down at the borders
there’s no need for social order
That’s America today
Workin’ parents can’t keep up
retiring soon, got enough?
Jack up the cards never savin’
no need to worry the kids are payin’
That’s America today
Older folks turn down the heat
cutting’ back on what they eat
this silent majority of the human race
want to live with dignity die in grace
That’s America today
(Bridge)
Who do we turn to get out of this
What can we do?
Where we’re headed is anyone’s guess
and you never feel the pain unless it happens to
unless it happens to you
Tellin’ others how to live
government says just give and give
Arm ’round your shoulder hand in your pocket
forget the future we just hocked it!
That’s America today
We had better change our ways
or you can number out the days
tough time’s comin’ have no doubt
we’re now the land of do without
That’s America today
