Winter in America (Solo Version) - Gil Scott-Heron
From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
Yes to the buffalo who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds
Looking for the rain
Looking for the rain
Just like the cities staggered on the coastline
Living in a nation that just can't take much more
Like the forest buried beneath the highway
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And now it's winter
Winter in America
Yes and all of the healers don't been killed
Been betrayed yeah
But the people know the people know
It's winter
Winter in America
The truth is they ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
Save your soul
Winter in America
The Constitution
A noble piece of paper
With free society
Struggled but it died in vain
And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner
Hoping that it rains
Well they are
Hoping for some rain
And I see the robins
Perched in barren treetops
Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor
And like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And somebody wants to know
Till it's winter
It feels like winter in America
So tell them we're all of the healers
People look help us down have been killed
Or been betrayed
Yeah but the people know there's some wrong
Feel just like it's winter
It's winter in America
The truth is they are ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
Save our babies
Winter in America
And now it's winter
Feel like winter in America
Yes time we're all of the healers
People who can help us done been killed
Or they put us in jails
Yeah and the people know there's some wrong
And everybody all know
It's winter
It seems like
Winter in America
The truth is they are ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
The truth is they are ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows nobody knows
What to do what to do
The truth is they are ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
