Winter In America Live) - Gil Scott Heron
From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
And to the buffalo who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds
Looking for the rain
Yes they've been 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
So tell them we're all of the healers
Don't been killed
Or been betrayed yeah
And people know there's some wrong
And everybody all know
It's winter
Winter in America
The truth is they are 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
Yeah it's been hoping for some rain
Just don't look like rain
And I see the robins
Perched in barren treetops
Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor
And like the peace sign that melted in our dreams
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And somebody want to know till
There it's winter
Nothing grows in the winter in America
So thell them we're all of the healers
Have been killed
Or they've been betrayed
Yeah people know there's some wrong
Hey it feels like
It's winter
It seems like winter in America
The truth is they are ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
Save the babies
Winter in America
And now it's winter
It's cold
It's winter in America
Yes don't tell them we're all of the healers
Seek to help us but done been killed
They put me to jail
Hey 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
