Walking along these tree-lined streets 40 years on with aching feet Kick the can every night Don't head home till you see the glow of the old streetlights Dinner's on the table we say the grace Everything perfectly in its place Mom and dad a dog or two Norman Rockwell would be so proud He'd probably paint us too We were born in the American bubble Unaware of other's trouble By the luck of the draw We found ourselves In the heart of the American dream Others didn't have it so good We began to look under the hood We found room for all Inside this American bubble At six o'clock in black and white On comes old Walter Cronkite A fountain for white and one for black Hop on the bus but you better be sitting way in the back Fire hoses and snarling dogs Nooses hanging over manicured lawns Police batons and body bags All those poor kids coming home dead Straight from the Nam We were born in the American bubble Unaware of other's trouble By the luck of the draw We found ourselves In the heart of the American dream Others didn't have it so good We began to look under the hood We found room for all In this American bubble We didn't know how good we had it Until the world came rushing at us America's blowing a gasket Too many people are lying in caskets I've decided I've had it Gonna call out these bigoted habits We can set everyone free Walking along these tree-lined streets Memory lane on aching feet A lot more color is on TV We won't quit now there's more to do until we sleep
