The U.S.A. Today

George Jones

There's homeless on the streets of every city 
Big city crime in every little town 
There's people making money off of Jesus 
And taxes dragging everybody down. 

There's politicians shredding up the truth 
And farmers getting pulled up by their roots 
And pushers telling little kids that highs the only way 
Welcome to the USA today. 

It's true we've got our problems Lord knows we make mistakes 
And every time we solve one ten others take it's place 
But you don't see those refugees heading the other way 
Oh, welcome to the USA today. 

But you know there're a thousand of happy homes for ever homeless 
And opportunity still knocks on every door 

Our younger generation's really shining 
Much brighter than they've ever shone before 
We've got the right to vote our leaders in 
And we've got the right to vote 'em out again 
And we're all free to speak our minds and not get locked away 
Welcome to the USA today. 

It's true we've got our problems Lord knows we make mistakes 
And every time we solve one ten others take it's place 
But you don't see those refugees heading the other way 
Welcome to the USA today. 

Oh, welcome to the USA today...
