Lyrics
My name is Alice my husband's Jay
We lost our house in the crash of 08
When I got sick bills piled up
Now the money we get don't last as long as the month
So after all the years of saving
and breathing in that dust
The mine shut down now they say
There's nothing left for us
Does the red white and blue wave for everybody
Do the fruits of our labor trickle down
Can we all hitch our wagon to those stars
The answer is plain when you look at where we are
My name is Oliver I'm still in school
My dad works two jobs my mom skips some meals
Me and my brothers sleep on the floor
I was planning for college I'm not planning anymore
Sometimes I cry 'cause I can't help enough
And it feels like my country forgot about us
Does the red white and blue wave for everybody
Do the fruits of our labor trickle down
Can we all hitch our wagon to those stars
The answer is plain when you look at where we are
But deep in my heart I believe
In the America that I dream
I'm not talking 'bout having everything like reality TV
I just want all of us to get what we need.
When the red white and blue waves for everybody
When the fruits of our labor trickle down
When we all can hitch our wagon to those stars
The truth will be plain when you look at where we are
