Jackie DeShannon - Somewhere in America Lyrics

While bankers, lawyers and brokers
Keep score for the buyers and sellers
Another deal is closing, reads the paper
What happens to the town? Families move away

Trees are being torn down at will
What more do you need to know?
Rain forests are burnin'
South Pole is meltin' we are responsible
We are responsible

Can anybody hear me
Somewhere, somewhere in America?

Watch out, look around, save your tears
The wildlife is just disappearin'
They may not see tomorrow
Losing the shoreline
There's so many questions
Man is very dangerous

Deceivin' the less fortunate
Hidin' undercover now
We sacrifice the livin'
Knowin' who's stronger we are responsible
We are responsible

Can anybody hear me
Somewhere, somewhere in America?

Freedom is threatened, we have not learned
Hatred's devastation has left it's scars
Integrity and honor are all but gone
Lost inside the shadows
Where is our compassion?

Is there anyone savin' trust?
Would you say you've played your part?
We should protect the oceans
A world of life below we are responsible
We are responsible

Can anybody hear me
Somewhere, somewhere in America
Somewhere, somewhere in America
Somewhere in America?
