Lyrics

WAKE UP IN AMERICA


In my bed I lay here thinkin'
And my mind strays to the past
Things were so good in America
And dreams were built to last

Jobs are getting scarce in America
There are miles and miles of unemployment lines
This used to be the land of opportunity
Things rising now are prices and crime

Chorus Oh, I want to wake up in America
Like I did when I was a kid
Oh, I want to wake up in America
Like my Daddy and Grandpa did

It's time for a change in America
We'll do it workin' side by side
This country belongs to all the people
To the children, to you and I

Chorus And we'll all wake up in America
Like we did when we were kids
And we'll all wake up in America
Like our Daddy's and Grandpa's did

It's time for a change in America
We'll do it workin' side by side
This country belongs to all the people
To the children, to you and I

Chorus And we'll all wake up in America
Like we did when we were kids
And we'll all wake up in America
Like our Daddy's and Grandpa's did

Like our Daddy's and Grandpa's did
