What happened to John Mellencamp's America?

Did it ever really exist? Are we fed too much in the media? Are any of the "facts" we hear really true?

TRUTHOUT




Oh but ain’t that america for you and me
Ain’t that america we’re someting to see baby
Ain’t that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

"It´s hard times, for an honest man
Very very hard times
Hard times, for an honest man
Very very hard times"

"And I felt ashamed of my actions
And the way the west was really won
So I drove down the highway
Till I came to Los Angeles
To the town
of the angels
The best, this country can do
I got down on my knees
And I asked for forgiveness
I said, "Lord, forgive us
For we know not, what we
do"

"There´s a good life
Right across the green fields
And each generation
Stares at it from afar
But we keep no check
On our appetites
So the green fields turn to brown
Like paper in fire"

love ya hon. Wish we could hang out every day. Miss that freakout of a dog of yours.
