America

America is hard to see
If you only see it on tv
Looking for someone to blame
Picture doesn't fit the frame
Life is not just black and white
Life is not just left or right
America is hard to see
If you only see it on tv
America's not what it seems
Maybe America is just a dream

A million different neighborhoods
Not all of them are Hollywood
In the middle of nowhere
Talk to folks who live out there
America is hard to see
When you only see it on tv
America, what can we do?
When everything is red or blue
We just can't see eye to eye
I'm sure that you're a real cool guy

Stop and take a look around
Maybe we'll find common ground
America is hard to see
America is you and me
