  • I was 21 yrs of age in 74. America was having some problems but not anything like now.

    Anyway, I marvel how Gil Scot Heron had so much insight at that time.

  • Sad to say but it's STILL "WINTER IN AMERICA"

  • From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims

    And to the buffalo who once ruled the plains

    Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds

    Looking for the rain

    Looking for the rain

  • Just like the cities staggered on the coastline

    Living in a nation that just can't stand much more

    Like the forest buried beneath the highway

    Never had a chance to grow

    Never had a chance to grow

    

  • And now it's winter Winter in America Yes and all of the healers have been killed Or sent away, yeah But the people know, the people know It's winter Winter in America And ain't nobody fighting 'Cause nobody knows what to say Save your soul, Lord knows From Winter in America
  • The Constitution

    A noble piece of paper

    With free society

    Struggled but it died in vain

    And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner

    Hoping for some rain

    Looks like it's hoping

    Hoping for some rain

  • And I see the robins

    Perched in barren treetops

    Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor

    But just like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams

    Never had a chance to grow

    Never had a chance to grow

  • And now it's winter It's winter in America And all of the healers have been killed Or been betrayed Yeah, but the people know, people know It's winter, Lord knows It's winter in America And ain't nobody fighting Cause nobody knows what to save Save your souls From Winter in America
  • And now it's winter Winter in America And all of the healers done been killed or sent away Yeah, and the people know, people know It's winter Winter in America And ain't nobody fighting Cause nobody knows what to save And ain't nobody fighting Cause nobody knows, nobody knows And ain't nobody fighting Cause nobody knows what to save
