Way to Go Mr America This is a song I wrote about the tragedy of Hurrican Katrina. While it outlines the failures at so many levels of our government and society, it's really about how individuals across this nation came together to help each. Here are the lyrics. Comments appreciated - good and bad. I know I missed a few notes and screwed up a line or 2...
Way to go Mr America - 09/06/05
Bye Bye miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the levy but that levy wasnt dry.
Bye bye miss America Pie,
Drove my Ford to the door but that door was in the sky.
Shame on you Mr Media Man,
It's about time the truth made it into your plan.
Show a white man in the water call him filled with rage,
Show a black man swimming must be out of his cage.
Shame on your Mr President,
Wouldn't want to make dirty the hand you could've lent.
Do you even know what it means to survive,
While you're getting stung by the bees in your hive?
CHORUS:
Way to go Mr America,
Way to go to the thousands in your shoes.
It's good know we've got America,
Way to go to the red whites and blues
Way to go Ms America,
Thanks for opening your doors, this time you sing us the blues,
It's good know we've got America,
Way to go to the red whites and blues
--
We don't need your government machine,
We'll rise up and take the town like Billie Jean.
We can make this engine go,
Don't need your oil or your money or suits no more.
Our spirits alive in these roads in these trees,
in my heart, on our minds when you're down upon your knees.
Join me / Rise up in the American Machine
It's bigger and badder than your lies have ever seen.
CHORUS
Hello Ms America Pete,
Thanks for taking in me in giving me some food to eat.
Hello Ms America Joe,
I walked right up to your house and your opened up your door. Musica Hurricane Katrina President Bush Bye Miss American Pie Music Guitar Acoustic America USA United States Live Singing Videos musicales, music y letras
