Morning In America

Durand Jones & The Indications

Compositor: Aaron Frazer / j.b. flatt

T's still in San Diego
You can hear a baby cryin'
As the trains in New York City
Roll thunder down the line

The teachers rise in Richmond
As they sleep in San Antone
While the harbor lights on Baltimore
Got nurses headed home

And the jails of Mericopa
Say a man is but his wrong
It's morning in America
But I can't see the dawn

Congressmen in Washington
Receive their brief n' brew
While lead it fills the pipe lines
In a Detroit county school

And I think of my grandmother
How she told me to be strong
It's morning in America
But I can't see the dawn

A junkie waits at Jacksonville
Prescription for the pain
As what the doctor ordered
Comes screaming through the vein

And in towns across the country
It's color that divides
When in working men and ladies
We could find our common side

It's morning in America
It's morning in America
We're mourning in America
And I can't see the dawn
No
