TWO AMERICAS


You may find this hard to be leave but I tell you there's two Americas I see There's one for the rich that has others open the door and clean up their mess they leave on the floor The other one is for the poor their the one's that will do anything for this country even more The rich make the laws for the poor to live by it's a shame but you'll never see these laws apply to a rich guy To make their money the'll even create war then the cowards will leave the fighting to the poor Yes two Americas I see I see it very well indeed One for the rich and one for the poor but wait just wait there's even more They let their kids go to the finest schools Yale or Harvard is what they used to choose For the poor the rich want to tear their school district down that way can never sore the must keep their dreams and feet on the ground Let the poor get caught breaking the law they want to lock them up with no windows on the wall And when the rich get caught for doing the same thing they don't have to play that game their money will save them every time that's why they never get convicted of any crime They keep saying we all are free but no matter what they say theres still two Americas to me!
