Soul of America - Ian Hunter

HunterThe
Alamo shuddered
Pearl Harbour as well
The Statue of
Liberty wept as they fell
And echoes were heard in the
Liberty Bell
When they came for the soul of
America And the
Manhattan skyline
Blew my mind the first time
We went down to the scene of the crime
Lookin' for the soul of
AmericaYeah lookin' for the soul lookin' for the soul
I don't see no
Washington taking the strain
No Jefferson
Adams Franklin or
PaineAnd that sure ain't
Geronimo running the game
Protecting the soul of
America Just them wild boys red white and blue
Wild boys gotta see the mission through
Come hell or high water my hat's off to you
Let's rock the soul of
AmericaOh let's rock the soul let's rock the soul
Yeah you can find souls all over this world
Lay underneath the stones of insanity
Yeah you can find souls all over the globe
Except in the places they oughta be
The sins of the fathers revisit the sons
The toil of tradition the roar of the guns
It's a God awful job but it's gotta be done
Protecting the soul of
America And them good old boys in their three piece suits
Feathering their nests while they're rallying the troops
They cut off the flowers don't worry 'bout the roots
Eroding the soul of
AmericaAnd
I'm looking for the soul
I wanna find the soul
There's souls in the city there's souls in the sand
Putting up with the latest indignities
Yeah you can find soul all over this land
Except in the places it oughta be
Except in the places it oughta be
Frankie and
Johnny in my neighbourhood
They don't read the papers as much as they should
But if they had the time they know that they would
And you're lookin' at the soul of
America Yeah them wild boys and red white and blue
Them wild boys gotta get the message through
Come hell or high water we're all rooting for you
And let's rock the soul of
AmericaCome on let's rock the soul let's rock the soul let's rock the soul
Rock me out rock me out
Oh yeahLet's rock the soul
Ah huh come on yeah
Let's rock the soul of
America
