Morning in America - Durand Jones & The Indications

It’s still in San Diego

You can hear a baby cryin'

As the trains of New York City

Roll thunder down the line

The teachers rise in Richmond

As they sleep in San Anton'

While the harbor lights on Baltimore

Guide nurses headed home

And the jails of Maricopa

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 and brew

While lead, it fills the pipelines

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 in 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
