| The Alamo shuddered, Pearl Harbour as well
|
| The Statue of Liberty wept as they fell
|
| And echoes were heard in the Liberty Bell
|
| When they came for the soul of America.
|
| And the Manhattan skyline
|
| Blew my mind the first time
|
| We went down to the scene of the crime
|
| Lookin' for the soul of America
|
| Yeah, lookin' for the soul, lookin' for the soul.
|
| I don’t see no Washington taking the strain
|
| No Jefferson, Adams, Franklin or Paine
|
| And that sure ain’t Geronimo running the game
|
| Protecting the soul of America.
|
| Just them wild boys, red, white and blue
|
| Wild boys gotta see the mission through
|
| Come hell or high water, my hat’s off to you
|
| Let’s rock the soul of America
|
| Oh, let’s rock the soul, let’s rock the soul.
|
| Yeah, you can find souls all over this world
|
| Lay underneath the stones of insanity
|
| Yeah, you can find souls all over the globe
|
| Except in the places they oughta be.
|
| The sins of the fathers revisit the sons
|
| The toil of tradition, the roar of the guns
|
| It’s a God awful job but it’s gotta be done
|
| Protecting the soul of America.
|
| And them good old boys in their three piece suits
|
| Feathering their nests while they’re rallying the troops
|
| They cut off the flowers, don’t worry 'bout the roots
|
| Eroding the soul of America
|
| And I’m looking for the soul, I wanna find the soul.
|
| There’s souls in the city, there’s souls in the sand
|
| Putting up with the latest indignities
|
| Yeah, you can find soul all over this land
|
| Except in the places it oughta be
|
| Except in the places it oughta be.
|
| Frankie and Johnny in my neighbourhood
|
| They don’t read the papers as much as they should
|
| But if they had the time, they know that they would
|
| And you’re lookin' at the soul of America.
|
| Yeah, them wild boys and red, white and blue
|
| Them wild boys gotta get the message through
|
| Come hell or high water, we’re all rooting for you
|
| And let’s rock the soul of America
|
| Come on, let’s rock the soul, let’s rock the soul, let’s rock the soul
|
| Rock me out, rock me out.
|
| Oh yeah
|
| Let’s rock the soul.
|
| Ah huh, come on, yeah
|
| Let’s rock the soul of America |
