The Man Who Built America - Live

Lyrics

See him driving those golden nails
 that hold together the silver bars
 That one day gonna take us to the stars
 cos he's the man who built America
 See him walking the golden wire
 a million miles from his starting place
 and see the world reflected in his face
 cos he's the man who built America
 You coloured kids on the border line
 and all you golden children of the sun
 He's father to you each and everyone
 cos he's the man who built America
 Building them up, your dreams
 tell me, who's gonna knock them down
 Not him, not the man who built America
 In every precinct a golden mile
 in every doorway stands heart's desire
 but see him crouching running through the fire
 cos he's the man who built America
 You kill the rich and you con the poor
 You stalk the streets with your 45's
 but no-one's going to take the man alive
 cos he's the man who built America.
