By the way, that really IS me at the end, sounding like Foghorn Leghorn. You oughta know by now that I can pretty much sound like anything or anyone I want to. I really am proud of this song, and of the lyrics, which is why I invite y'all to have a look at 'em. God Bless Us All and God Save Us From B***S*** 'cause thar's MUCH too much of it, know whut I mean? Thar yew go. I'm all set. Very Much Love To Y'all. ~Lesley

    Story Behind the Song
    I chose a simpler, more sparse arrangement for
    this than I usually do.. ...I wanted something
    with the "grass-roots" feel of Elvis Presley's
    "That's Alright Mama"... ..I am very pleased indeed with how this record came out. Very pleased indeed. God Bless America---ALL of America. For America IS All Of Us.

    ~Lesley

    Lyrics
    We Are America



    Now Hey,
    Listen here
    'Cause you best not mess around
    Yes I love my country
    And I won't stand for sittin' 'round while you put her down

    'Cause we are America
    We sweat and bleed upon the land where our forefathers died
    Yeah we are America
    If someone told you we were perfect, then somebody lied
    But we happen to be the best place around
    If you open your ears then you may hear the sound
    Oh yes indeed
    We are America

    We're The Land Of The Free
    And The Home Of The Brave
    But some Big Companies wanna turn us all to slaves
    Wrecking all God Gave

    And we are America
    I don't blame the government
    They do their best to keep us on the rails
    Oh yeah we are America
    When we're downsized we don't really want to find ourselves in jails

    But the buck's passing by,
    Goes 'round and 'round
    It keeps passing by me and this whole side of town
    But God can see
    We are America

    Now listen to this

    Say Hello To The Heartland
    You know we're a part of it
    Don't go thinkin' that we're so different
    Don't dare look at us and spit
    Tell 'em all in Washington
    Don't you let the filthy rich
    Treat us all like shhhhhhhhhhh
    Oh yeah

    We are America
    We're born and raised upon a dream right here on our Mama's Knee
    Yes and we are America, we've had to feed our families
    On what's leftover for you and me

    And I struggle so to make it all work out
    If I live to see the day, you'll all find out
    One day I'll be
    The President
