"Pennsylvania Avenue" lyrics - RECKLESS KELLY

To whom it may concern
Whoever's takin' away for the next turn
Don't you think we could do a little better than
The way it's goin' down
I'll give you four good years just to turn it around
And if you don't I'll take it into my own hands

[Chorus:]
And I'm gonna build my house up on Pennsylvania Avenue
Gonna raise my flag for all to see
And I'm gonna make my stand up on Pennsylvania Avenue
Mama told me I can be anything I wanna be

What about a man's worth and what it used to mean
Before the radio waves and the big screen
And now you talk about hard work and a steady hand
We put our trust in you, you better stick to the plan

[Chorus:]
Or I'm gonna build my house up on Pennsylvania Avenue
Gonna raise my flag for all to see
And I'm gonna make my stand up on Pennsylvania Avenue
'Cuz Mama told me I can anything I wanna be

[Instrumental]

[Bridge:]
And we learned about hard times and the American Dream
Heard about the Dust Bowl and the war machines
And we read about generals on the battlefields
We put our trust in them to make our deals
Up on Pennsylvania Avenue

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna build my house up on Pennsylvania Avenue
Gonna raise my flag for all to see
And I'm gonna make my stand up on Pennsylvania Avenue
'Cuz Mama told me I can be anything I wanna be
Yeah Mama told me I can be anything I wanna be
