lyrics

What did they promise you?
Did they promise you a little pink house
or a good job in a factory
or that you'd live in a tent city
ain't that America for you and me
Did the promise you you'd be alright,
when things go bump in the night

What did they promise you?
did they promise you that you'd be safe
or did they lie and say that you'd be free
or that you'd get shot dead in the street
ain't that America for you and me
Did they promise you you'd be alright

or did they promise you money?
they promised you money
How much did you get?
was it worth it?

What did they promise you?
did they promise you a second chance
if you could pay all the legal fees
while getting cancer from the food that you eat
ain't that America for you and me
did they promise you you'd be alright

Or did the promise you money?
they promised you money
how much did you get?
why aren't you rich yet?

And they say you'd better pull yourself up by your boot straps, baby
but you, you and I we both know that doesn't exist
and you know they will perpetuate the lie about a welfare queen
cause they know, when you're low, you'll put faith in every myth
and you can't resist

when they promise you money
they promise you money
how much did you get
when they promised you money
they promised you money
how much did you get?
was it worth it?
