Made in America Lyrics

Made in America Text

---

PREACHER:
I don't care how hard the hardship.
No one has the right to steal, and you cannot buy your soul back.
God don't make that kind of deal.
When your prayers all go unanswered, and the dust is getting worse, and you live near open sewers with just pennies in your purse...
that is when the good Lord will become your Savior.
He will lead you to the light.
We are all God's children,
His arms always open, we must all do what is right!

PREACHER:
You may be in debt! Wake up in a sweat!
But let's not forget, you were made in America!

Bread Line Folks:
We may be in debt! Wake up in a sweat!
But let's not forget, we were made in America! We were made in America!

SOME PARISHIONERS:
You can't blame 'em, who could blame 'em?
Ain't their fault they turned to crime!

Man:
A bar of soap's a luxury. Don't get much change from a dime!

Bread Line Folks:
You can't blame those kids for wantin' to fill up their shopping bags! City Hall is low on kindness, but it don't run out of flags! They both grew up hungry! They were heading nowhere!
Thanks to good old USA!

PREACHER:
All who sin must answer.

(Bread Line Folks): All who sin.

PREACHER:
And these two will answer!
They will face a...

ALL:
Judgement day! Sure they robbed some men!
And they will again! Poor kids, ah, but then, they were made in America!
They had holes in every shoe! No dream can come true!

MALE PARISHIONER:
They stole! Wouldn't you...

Preacher & Bread Line Folks:
We may be in debt! Wake up in a sweat!
But let's not forget, we were made in America!

(With ensemble singing chorus in the background.)

PREACHER:
Wash away the demons! Fill your heart with kindness!

Bread Line Folks:
We were made in America!

PREACHER:
We were!

Bread Line Folks:
We were made in America!

PREACHER:
We were made in America!

ALL:
We were made in Ameri- We were made in Ameri- We were made in America!
