Gil Scott-Heron And Brian Jackson - Winter In America Lyrics

From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
And to the buffalo who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds
Looking for the rain
Looking for the rain

Just like the cities staggered on the coastline
Living in a nation that just can't stand much more
Like the forest buried beneath the highway
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow

And now it's winter
Winter in America
Yes and all of the healers have been killed
Or sent away, yeah
But the people know, the people know
It's winter
Winter in America
And ain't nobody fighting
'Cause nobody knows what to save
Save your soul, Lord knows
From Winter in America

The Constitution
A noble piece of paper
With free society
Struggled but it died in vain
And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner
Hoping for some rain
Looks like it's hoping
Hoping for some rain

And I see the robins
Perched in barren treetops
Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor
But just like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow

And now it's winter
It's winter in America
And all of the healers have been killed
Or been betrayed
Yeah, but the people know

Lyrics of Winter in America by Gil Scott-Heron

And from the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims

And to the buffalos who one ruled the plain

Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds

Just like the cities staggered on the coastline

Livin′ in a nation that just can't take much more

Like the forest buried beneath the highway

Never had a chance to grow

Seem like winter in America

The time when all of the healers done been killed

All of the them know it's winter

Seem like winter in America

And ain't nobody fighting,

Because nobody knows what to save

Lord know it′s winter in America

The Constitution, a noble piece of paper would free society,

It struggled but then died in vain

And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner

It′s been hoping for some rain

And I see the robins perched in barren treetops

They're watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor

And may peace sign that vanished in our dreams

Never had a chance to grow

And somebody won′t know till it's winter

It′s cold as like winter in America

This the time when all of the healers done been killed

People know, all the people know it's winter

Yeah, it feel like winter in America

The truth is
