American Hearts

Piebald

Hey, you're part of it

I walk the streets of a Carolina

Watching people pushing shopping carts

And there's a guy and he's washing windows

Making ten bucks a pop,

And he says to me

"Hey, you're part of it."

And I say

"sir, well have you heard that

This country is unequal still?"



History continues itself

And I did not create the rules

From all I've heard

And all I've seen

This place has broken

My American heart.
