In America

Lately been thinking about
 What it means to be in a country that's not
 All that it should be
 I don't know if I'm all ready to leave
 Do you really want to be in America?
 See - you don't really have to be in America
 Somewhere else might be better
 I'm not just talking about weather
 But I don't think that I'd be willing to get up and go
 You've got the answer?
 Speak up if you know
 Maybe it's just that I know
 What it means to me to be living a life
 Almost thinking free
 I can pretty well choose how I want to be
 Do you really want to be in America?
 See, you don't really have to be in America
 Somewhere else might be better
 I won't be living here forever
 But I don't think that I'd be willing to get up and go
 You've got the answer
 Speak up if you know
 Who says your life's an easy ride?
 Who says the government's on your side?
 Think for yourself
 Who cares what they decide . . .
