SON VOLT
"Livin' In The Usa"
(Jay Farrar)

They say freedom is a natural thing
From cradle to grave, show the world what's at stake
A higher purpose walks these streets all around
In a sea of noise, it's still there but tuned out
Living in the USA

Share a little truth with your neighbor down the block
We've all got fossil fuel lungs while we run out the clock
Living in the USA
Living in the USA

Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA
Living in the USA

This land of freedom, all can live the dream, they say
With voices crying out and sirens wailing away
Money flows through every back-channel door
Cash crowns the king, there's no limits anymore
Living in the USA

Where the rule of law is now up for sale
Where wealth and privilege buy a ticket out of jail
Living in the USA
Living in the USA

Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA
Living in the USA

Dividers in the room writing platforms of fear
While rapid-fire hearts make way for tremelo tears
Charlatans will be deleted from our minds
Power invested in people, let the idea shine
Living in the USA

Cancellation noise on a rolling revue
With the marching drums of change
Gonna power through to you
Living in the USA
Living in the USA

Where's the heart from days of old?
Where is the empathy? Where's the soul?
Living in the USA
Living in the USA

Living in the USA
Living in the USA
Living in the USA
Living in the USA
Living in the USA
Living in the USA
