Can't find a job
Can't make a livin'
Can't figure out
What this system's givin'
We got a billion dollar bomber
and it don't even fly , now
We got 40 million people
hungry every night
We got the generals and the colonels
every night on T.V., now
And millions of people livin'
on the street, now
Tell me why
Does it have to be this way?
When you can't feed the people
In the good, old U-S-of-A
We got a bunch of lousy actors
every night on T.V., now
Telling you what to think AND
what to see, now
We got the bankers stealing billion $
and they never go to jail
But if a poor man steal some bread
he goes there, without fail!
Tell me why
Does it have to be this way?
When you can't feed the people
Of the Good, old U-S-of-A
