THERE’S NO WAY
OUT & NO WAY IN !

WHERE IS THE LAND
I USED TO
UNDERSTAND
IN AMERICA ?
IF YOU PROTEST
THEY’LL PAY SOMEONE
TO MAKE A MESS
IN AMERICA
BUT ASK PERMISSION
& YOU’LL JUST
RAISE SUSPICION
IN AMERICA
& IF YOU RUN
THEY’LL CHASE YOU
WITH A GUN
IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA

WE LIVE IN SUCH A BAD CITY
THERE’S NO PLACE FOR US
WE LIVE IN A TOWN WITHOUT PITY
& THERE’S NO ROOM FOR LOVE
WE LIVE WHERE EVERYTHING’S PRETTY
IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA

IF YOU ARE WHITE
THEY’LL ALWAYS TRY
TO MAKE IT RIGHT
IN AMERICA
IF YOU ARE BLACK
YOU’LL ALWAYS HAVE
TO WATCH YOUR BACK
IN AMERICA
IN YOUR FACE
BUT NEVER IN
YOUR PLACE BOY
IN AMERICA
IF YOU’RE A JEW
THEY’LL ALWAYS PUT
THE BLAME ON YOU
IN AMERICA

WE LIVE IN SUCH A BAD CITY
THERE’S NO PLACE FOR US
WE LIVE IN A TOWN WITHOUT PITY
& THERE’S NO ROOM FOR LOVE
WE LIVE WHERE EVERYTHING’S PRETTY
IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA

IF JESUS COMES
HE’LL RECOGNIZE
HIS PEOPLE THERE
IN AMERICA
THEY’LL BE THE ONES
LOOKING FOR HIM
EVERYWHERE
IN AMERICA
THERE’S NOW WAY
IN & NO WAY OUT
IN AMERICA
& IF YOU RUN
THEY’LL CHASE
& SHOOT YOU
WITH A GUN
IN AMERICA

WE LIVE IN SUCH A BAD CITY
THERE’S NO PLACE FOR US
WE LIVE IN A TOWN WITHOUT PITY
& THERE’S NO ROOM FOR LOVE
WE LIVE WHERE EVERYTHING’S PRETTY
IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA….

THERE’S NO WAY
OUT & NO WAY IN
IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA
