America the Blue
America, the Blue
America, You're Still Beautiful
But the Beauty Is Fading Fast
With Toxic Waste and Pollution
There's No Way Your Beauty Will Last
The Signs of Aging Are Subtle
But Nonetheless Still There
It's Easier Now to Notice
Across the Land Once So Fair
The Lakes and Streams Are Poison
And the Wild Life Is Fading out
They Have No Place in Society
Of That There Is Little Doubt
Everyone Has Ideas and Plans
But the Government Is Very Slow
Talk about it Is Very Cheap
All We Get Is "I Don't Know."
We Could Stand Together
But No One Wants to Do That
Money Is More Important
And That Is the Saddest Fact
What Will Happen Tomorrow?
Where Will Our Children Live?
When You, America, Get All Used up
And Have Nothing Left to Give?
