Story Behind The Song
If you watch TV on any given night, you'd come to the conclusion that most Americans have an endless cash flow and short work week with lot's of free time for exotic adventures filled with prizes and buxom babes for the taking. This can be quite entertaining and titillating, but is this reality? This is a song about sliding down the ladder and where to go from there.

Lyrics
The Other Side of America
Be careful walking through those gates baby
You never know what you might find
If you tread too far from home sister
You may see a world that?s not so kind
Now should you lose the kingdom?s keys honey
Should the king bail on hard times
Should your ship sail back to sea baby
We?ll welcome you in maritime
On The Other Side of America
If you?re in the silent majority baby
There is a wall that you must climb
Stone to stone to higher authority baby
Or you?re gonna get left behind
On The Other Side of America
Revolution in the streets right now
It?s the only way to get your groove on baby
Revolution in the streets right now
