A GREAT song from Alabama - (Arent We) All Americans Alabama performing All American, their latest. A right to the heart of the matter kind of song. I confess the middle section chokes me up. Theres a strip mall round the corner, lease signs in every window. And fear in almost all my neighbors eyes. Theres a disconnect between the politicians and the people We know half the time theyre gonna lie. Arent we all on the same side? Theres no us and theres no them were all out there on a limb. Theres no Kings and theres no Queens just a pot of melted dreams What makes us so quick to fight? No one wants to compromise. Sometimes its all so hard to understand. Arent we all Americans? We cant agree on nothing even as our countrys hanging in the balance by a thread. Theres bonuses for bosses and bankers hiding losses while our leaders close their eyes and turn their heads. Arent we all on the same side? What if my sons class was closing down? My brothers house the bank sold out, My fathers farm we could not save, my mother lost her job today. My wife just said tuitions more, another year we cant afford so my daughters dropping out of school. If this was me what would I do? Theres no us and theres no them, were all out there on a limb. Theres no Kings and theres no Queens just a pot of melted dreams What makes us so quick to fight? No one wants to compromise. Oh, sometimes its all so hard to understand. Get back to being neighbors and friends. Arent we ... arent we ...all Americans? https://youtube/watch?v=mNifZp3d5u4
