Hal Shows - Hung Jury lyrics



That’s one I call American
That’s one I call American
That’s one I call American
That’s one I call American

First we’ll blow those teepees down.
Then we’ll build us a little town
Linked by rail to Santa Fe—
We’ll have a Sunday School someday.

That’s one I call American . . .

Next we’ll lay a county line
Straighter than anybody could.
This we do in the public good—
People in the way better knock on wood—

All the while, in shrouds of sail
Came the pride of Africa,
Sold to slavery without bail.
Later on there arrived in steerage
Rags of the European peerage,
Some for liberty, some for jail.

That’s one I call American . . .

Air-strikes aimed at ending bloodshed—
Then drop sandwiches on their heads—
Good must dress itself in guile
Famous hippies go back on trial
Later in the day the scene gets blurry;
The century ends in a hung jury.

If we kissed them everyone,
If we miss them night and day,
There would still be a debt to pay,
That’s one I call American.

That’s one I call American
That’s one I call American
That’s one I call American . . .
