Keith Carradine Born Again Americans Just a workin man without a job It got shipped off to China via Washington, D.C. And I know Im nothin special, there are plenty more like me Just the same I thought I knew the rules of the game I stood up for this country that I love I came back from the desert to a wife and kids to feed Im not sayin Uncle Sam should give me what I need My offer stands Ill pull my weight you give me half a chance I went up to a congressman and said to him you know Our government is letting people down He said hed need a lot of help to buck the status-quo I said there was a bunch of us around Im a Born Again American, conceived in liberty My Bible and the Bill of Rights, my creeds equality Im a Born Again American, my country tis of me And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining sea My brothers welding chassis at the plant Hes earning what our granddad did in 1948 While CEOs count bonuses behind the castle gates How can they see? When all they care abouts the dough-re-me Its getting where theres nowhere left to turn Not since the crash of twenty-nine have things been so unfair So many of our citizens are living in despair The time has come To reaffirm that hopes not just for some The promise of Americas surrendering to greed The rule is just look out for number one But brace yourself cause some of us have sown a different seed A harvest of the spirit has begun Im a Born Again American conceived in liberty My Bible and The Bill Of Rights, my creeds equality A Born Again American, my country tis of me And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining sea Its clear my countrys soul is on the line Shes hungering for something that she lost along the way The principle the framers called upon us to obey That in this land The peoples will must have the upper hand I felt the calling once before and took a sacred vow And faithful to that vow I have remained I hear the calling once again, my country needs me now And to her cause I have been re-ordained Im a Born Again American conceived in liberty My Bible and the Bill Of Rights, all people living free A Born Again American, my country tis of me And everyone who shares the dream From sea to shining sea And everyone who shares the dream From sea to shining sea A M E R I C A
