Amerika V. 6.0 (the Best We Can Do) Lyrics - Steve Earle

Look at ya 

Yeah, take a look in the mirror now tell me what you see 

Another satisfied customer in the front of the line for the American dream 

I remember when we was both out on the boulevard 

Talkin' revolution and singin' the blues 

Nowadays it's letters to the editor and cheatin' on our taxes 

Is the best that we can do 

Come on 

Look around 

There's doctors down on Wall Street 

Sharpenin' their scalpels and tryin' to cut a deal 

Meanwhile, back at the hospital 

We got accountants playin' God and countin' out the pills 

Yeah, I know, that sucks Ã??Ã?? that your HMO 

Ain't doin' what you thought it would do 

But everybody's gotta die sometime and we can't save everybody 

It's the best that we can do

Four score and a hundred and fifty years ago 

Our forefathers made us equal as long as we can pay 

Yeah, well maybe that wasn't exactly what they was thinkin' 

Version six-point-oh of the American way 

But hey we can just build a great wall around the country club 

To keep the riff-raff out until the slump is through 

Yeah, I realize that ain't exactly democratic, but it's either them or us and 

And it's the best we can do 

Yeah, passionely conservative 

It's the best we can do 

Conservatively passionate 

It's the best we can do 

Photos 

Meanwhile, still thinkin' 

Hey, let's wage a war on drugs 

It's the best we can do 

Well, I don't know about you, but I kinda dig this global warming thing...
