Pink Houses Lyrics - John Mellencamp

There's a black man with a black cat 

Livin' in a black neighborhood 

He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard 

You know he thinks he's got it so good 

And there's a woman in the kitchen 

Cleanin' up the evenin' slop 

And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', I can remember when 

You could stop a clock" 

Ah, but ain't that America for you and me? 

Ain't that America? Somethin' to see, baby 

Ain't that America? Home of the free, yeah 

Little pink houses for you and me 

Ooh yeah, for you and me

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Well, there's a young man in a t-shirt 

Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station 

He's got greasy hair, greasy smile 

He says, "Lord this must be my destination" 

'Cause they told me when I was younger 

Said, "Boy, you're gonna be president" 

But just like everything else those old crazy dreams 

Just kinda came and went 

Ah, but ain't that America for you and me? 

Ain't that America? Somethin' to see, baby 

Ain't that America? Home of the free, yeah 

Little pink houses for you and me 

Ah, yeah, baby, for you and me 

Photos 

Well, there's people and more people 

What do they know know know? 

Go to work in some high rise 

And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah 

And there's winners and there's losers 

But they ain't no big deal 

'Cause the simple man, baby, pays for the thrills, the bills 

The pills that kill 

Ah, but ain't that America for you and me? 

Ain't that America? Somethin' to see, baby 

Ain't that America? Home of the free, yeah 

Little pink houses for you and me, ooh 

Ooh yeah 

Ain't that America for you and me? 

Ain't that America? Hey, somethin' to see, baby 

Ain't that America? Oh, the home of the free 

Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Little pink houses, babe, for you and me 

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
