America Communicate With Me Songtext
von Ray Stevens

I′m tired of all your protests
They're gettin′ out of hand
And all you politicians
You're too vague to understand
Yeah, I'm somewhere in the middle
Of two extremes without a plan
I′m just the average man
Just tryin′ to do the best I can
And I've had it with the preachin′
I don't want to hear no more
Everybody′s spreadin' doubts
With shouts of politics and war
And from where I stand
It don′t make sense to be against or for
Seems like nowadays
There is no call to reason anymore
But the answers aren't all yes or no
To or fro, stop or go
Everything's not left or right
Black or white, day or night


America
My country ′tis of thee
America
Communicate with me
Three small bullets took the leaders
That could help us all unite
And the people split asunder
In their search for truth and right
And the rabble-rousers preach distorted views
From left and right
And the rocket′s red glare searches
For the dawn's early light
But despite your flaming headlines
I′ll still keep the faith in you
And you're still the same great country
That I pledge allegiance to
Call me a sentimental patriot
Well, I guess that could be true
But I can′t help but think
A lot of people feel the way I do
'Cause the answers aren′t all yes or no
To or fro, stop or go
Everything's not left or right
Black or white, day or night
America
My country 'tis of thee
America
Communicate with me
