America
Isn't just the melting pot
You'll also find r&r
Disneyland baseball and star wars
Times of despair times ot hope
One builds another destroys
Life's passing governments tall
Pete's hands are getting old

From Alaska to Mexico
It sure looks different man
But it's all America

In the sound of the streets
In the mines on the farms
Pete's hands are not strong anymore
Sixty years they re tighting for the boss
And somewhere in distant illinois
A gravestone stands

An empty coffin waiting for Pete
To come well whenever
From Alaska to Mexico
It sure looks different man
But it's all America

And
When he talls asleep
And never wakes again
The only thing he really wants
Isn't bliss in paradise
But the dawning gold of the holy country

From Alaska to Mexico
It sure looks different man
But it's all America
