Love Letter to America Songtext
von Gene McDaniels

Hey America,
You could have had it anyway you wanted it,
You could have been a real democracy,
You could have been free, oh—.

Hey America,
You could have had me for your friend and not your enemy,
Thru your perversion you insist I have to be your enemy
I could have loved you more than you will ever know,
You are my homeland, oh—.


Hey America,
The only thing you respect is violence, now.

You′ve lost the gift of love,
Don't ask me how.
Hey America,
I need to love you more than
You could know,
I′d give my life if I could save your soul,
But you've grown old and can't change,
Cold in your heart and I′m sad, sad.
