America

America Well you should have seen turkey Sal She fills herself with packs of Pall Mall And not to forget about Coonskin-Cap Jack Always a-travelling with a riffle on his back The greatest thing a man can see Is the vast environment of Tennessee But I can't state that myself- I love all of the country America, great plains and tall pines Deep blue lakes and mountain peaks High water and deep coal mines Country houses and dense streets I see a horse grazing on the prairie And begin to think about the heritage What Westward-bound means And what is, in fact, genuine But it is time for greetings, the time to thank For what the harvest brought, what we got from the land America, fifty-states of well-being Some territories far removed Beauty emerges for all the seeing Places warm, places cool The founding fathers, I respect so much For they stood up for liberty and independence Washington, Franklin, Paul Revere As I am reading Thomas Payne's 'Common Sense' So if I'll set foot on American soil one day I'll be proud of the way I have come Because in essence, Americans are the same as me Only, they know the true meaning of freedom America, Lush visions of crippled desire Brought to me by endless visons Only connected by the telephone wire The communicative prison What the future will bring is uncertain But this nation will stand the test of time Greatness doesn’t have to be restored; Greatness is merely a state of mind So come now, and share a thought Choose your leaders wisely and be assured That whoever will become President Will do what he/she should The advertising man looks down on his desk And finds ads from the archives It says: ‘1958, Lester and Grove Inc.’ He gets a glass of Bourbon Does he represent America? The heavy workload, the tired workhorses The freedom of working is no freedom at all But it is far better than them communist dogs America, Deserts and far stretched woods A fire in my heart, a warm embrace The sunset gives a certain mood To a man on a wild-goose chase.
