Poverty is just a row you hoeHold tight to your rosary beadsMother Mary can do anythingDaddy wires money from San AntoneMama prays for the day he's homeHis daddy's daddy's daddy did the sameMeanwhile in America
I wake up wrapped in red, white and blue
I was born with the freedom to do
What I want to do
It gets me thinking every time I turn on the news
How blessed I am
Simply walking in my shoes
Meanwhile in America
Meanwhile in America
Meanwhile in America
Meanwhile in America
