All the founding fathers sowed their seeds Into servant girls All the godless heathens had to leave To make a newer world So we could live together in America Justice is blind, man So is love Oh-oh oh-oh All the stolen melodies they played In the hit parade All the power spirituals, they fade In the salad days So we could sing together in America The price of an anthem paid in blood Bodies stacked like hundred dollar bills To build that shining city on the hill There’s no guilt, regret, or shame It just had to be this way Oh-oh oh-oh If you steal and hustle, don’t get caught Gotta risk it all Or hang on every number they read off For the power ball We’ll all get rich together in America Money’s indifferent So is love Trash bags full of hundred dollar bills We left that broke down city on the hill Had to relocate the past Because we’re never going back
