Lyrics Winter In America (Live 1984) - Gil Scott-Heron

And 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
And a nation that just can't 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
The time when all of the healer done been killed
Or they been betrayed
Yeah but the people know
The people know it's winter
Winter in America
The thrth is there ain't nobody fighting
Because nobody know what to save
Save your soul
Lord know it's winter in America
And now it's winter
It's cold as like Winter in America
Yes that's the time when all of healers done been killed
Or thet been betrayed, yeah
But the people know
The people know it's winter in America
The truth is there ain't nobody fighting
Because nobody knows what to save
The truth is there
Nobody fighting, nobody fighting
Nobody know, nobody know, nobody knows
What to do, what to do
The truth is there ain't nobody fighting
Because nobody knows what to save
