Lyrics

Yeah
(Shotgun)
Peace!
Eh, yeah, eh

Aristocrats on a mountain climb
Makin' money, losin' time
Communism is just a word
But if the government turn over
It'll be the only word that's heard

CHORUS:
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

Little sister make minimum wage
Livin' in a one-room jungle monkey cage
Can't get over, she's almost dead
She may not be in the black
But she happy she ain't in the red

CHORUS

Freedom ? Love ? Joy ? Peace

Jimmy Nothing never went 2 school
They made him pledge allegiance
He said it wasn't cool
Nothin' made Jimmy proud
Now Jimmy live on a mushroom cloud

CHORUS {x2}

Freedom ? Love ? Joy ? Peace

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
And the bomb go
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
And the bomb go
Boom!

Teacher, why won't Jimmy pledge allegiance?

Writer(s): Wendy Melvoin, Prince Rogers Nelson, Lisa Coleman, Robert B. Rivkin, Matthew Robert Fink, Mark Alton Brown
