This Is America Lyrics

There's a land over there

Just beyond the sea

Where the wind blows people's hopes through the trees

There is something in the air

It'll make you feel at home

Even if you have no one in the world

You'll find steel in the east

Hot lead in the west

Stay away from the south and move fast

It's the land of milk and honey

But you gotta beware

Someone says the devil lives there

This is America

It's something you don't know

But it might just be an open door

There are holy waters

Mountains full of gold

And freeways built on Ind ian bones

So you can live it up and let it in

And don't give up on all your dreams

Sneak up the fire escape

And you always find an easy way out

Let it in

Or leave it up!

This is America

The home of the brave

But it's a matter of the color of your hands

Take a look around

You can have it all

With a pocket full of dollars or with a gun!

So you can live it up and let it in

And don't give up on all your dreams

This is America

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win

Live it up and let it in

This is America

There's a monkey on all backs

And this is something you will understand

You can feel all alone

Just walkin through the crowd

Or you can get yourself the wildest romance

So you can live it up and let it in

And don't give up on all your dreams

This is America

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win

Live it up or let it in
