lyrics

the heart of america, it’s what you see
I’ll tell you how it looks to me

the heart of america is still alive
you live as much as you can buy

we start making money and away we go
the rest of them are down below

and nobody’s crying for a single soul
you help yourself, it’s all we know

you know they give it away
but people choose to pay
you gotta go it without
to know what I’m talking about
yeah

I don’t want what you’re selling cause I got my own
don’t need a chair to be on a throne

the news only tells you what is good for them
they make you scared to make you spend

we give up all that we own
so corporations don’t
they wanna live for today
and let tomorrow pay
yeah

well I still believe in what we’re supposed to be
but those in charge, they don’t agree
the heart of america it’s plain to see
it doesn’t work for you and me
