Soul Of America Lyrics - Shrunken Heads - Ian Hunter

Hunter 

The Alamo shuddered, Pearl Harbour as well 

The Statue of Liberty wept as they fell 

And echoes were heard in the Liberty Bell 

When they came for the soul of America. 

And the Manhattan skyline 

Blew my mind the first time 

We went down to the scene of the crime 

Lookin' for the soul of America 

Yeah, lookin' for the soul, lookin' for the soul. 

I don't see no Washington taking the strain 

No Jefferson, Adams, Franklin or Paine 

And that sure ain't Geronimo running the game 

Protecting the soul of America.

Just them wild boys, red, white and blue 

Wild boys gotta see the mission through 

Come hell or high water, my hat's off to you 

Let's rock the soul of America 

Oh, let's rock the soul, let's rock the soul. 

Yeah, you can find souls all over this world 

Lay underneath the stones of insanity 

Yeah, you can find souls all over the globe 

Except in the places they oughta be. 

The sins of the fathers revisit the sons 

The toil of tradition, the roar of the guns 

It's a God awful job but it's gotta be done 

Protecting the soul of America. 

And them good old boys in their three piece suits 

Feathering their nests while they're rallying the troops 

They cut off the flowers, don't worry 'bout the roots 

Eroding the soul of America 

And I'm looking for the soul, I wanna find the soul.

Frankie and Johnny in my neighbourhood 

They don't read the papers as much as they should 

But if they had the time, they know that they would 

And you're lookin' at the soul of America. 

Yeah, them wild boys and red, white and blue 

Them wild boys gotta get the message through 

Come hell or high water, we're all rooting for you 

And let's rock the soul of America 

Come on, let's rock the soul, let's rock the soul, let's rock the soul 

Rock me out, rock me out. 

Oh yeah 

Let's rock the soul. 

Ah huh, come on, yeah 

Let's rock the soul of America
