Lyrics The Temptations

The Temptations

1990

Well, we got trouble in the White House

Poverty in the ghetto

When will it end?

Nobody knows!

People are asking now

"How can you spend another dollar on the space race"

"When families at home are starving right in front of your face."

Where is your heart, America?

Thousand of jobless people walking the streets

With no food or place to sleep

What will become of them, America?

I heard some people saying they had a solution

"All we got to do is change the constitution!"

What about air pollution, America?

America!

Don't get me wrong, I still love ya

In spite of all your troubles and woes

In my eyes you're still the greatest of them all!

America!

I ain't ashamed to say that I love ya

There ain't another place on Earth I'd rather be

We won all the battles there were to win

Pray that the war is at an end

That's what people pray

Listen to them, America!

America!

Don't get me wrong, I still love ya

In spite of all your troubles and woes

In my eyes you're still the greatest of them all!

America!

I ain't ashamed to say that I love ya

There ain't another place on Earth I'd rather be
