Pink Houses (Karaoke Version)

There's a black man with a black cat

Living in a black neighborhood

He's got an interstate running' through his front yard

You know he thinks he's got it so good

And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning' up evening slop

And he looks at her and says:

"Hey darling I can remember when you could stop a clock"

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America we're something to see baby

Ain't that America home of the free yeah

Little pink houses for you and me oh for you and me

Well there's a young man in a T-shirt

Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station

He's got a greasy hair greasy smile

He says: "Lord this must be my destination"

'Cause they told me when I was younger

Sayin' "Boy you're gonna be president"

But just like everything else those old crazy dreams

Just kinda came and went

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America we're something to see baby

Ain't that America home of the free yeah

Little pink houses for you and me oh baby for you and me

Well there's people and more people

What do they know know know

Go to work in some high rise

And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico

Ooo yeah

And there's winners and there's losers

But they ain't no big deal

'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills

The bills and the pills that kill

Oh but ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America we're something to see baby

Ain't that America home of the free yeah

Little pink houses for you and me ooo ooo yeah

Oh but Ain't that America for you and me

Ain't that America hey we're something to see baby

Ain't that America oh the home of the free

Yeah

Little pink houses babe for you and me ooo yeah ooo yeah
