This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

-Lyrics-

Only in America

We're slaves to be free

Only in America we kill the unborn

To make ends meet

Only in America

Sexuality is democracy

Only in America we stamp our god

"In God we trust"

What is right or wrong

I don't know who to believe in

My soul sings a different song

In America

Church bell's ringing

Pass the plate around

The choir is singing

As their leader falls to the ground

Please Mr. prophet man

Tell me which way to go

I gave my last dollar

Can I still come to your show

What is right or wrong

I don't know who to believe in

My soul sings a different song

In America

I am right and you are wrong

I am right and you are wrong

I am right and you are wrong

No one's right and no one's wrong

In America
