LRC Lyrics download
[00:00.00] From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
[00:18.12]And to the buffalo who once ruled the plains
[00:23.91]Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds
[00:29.22]Looking for the rain
[00:35.34]Looking for the rain
[00:40.62]Just like the cities staggered on the coastline
[00:47.22]Living in a nation that just can't stand much more
[00:54.51]Like the forest buried beneath the highway
[00:59.40]Never had a chance to grow
[01:04.98]Never had a chance to grow
[01:11.22]And now it's winter
[01:18.09]Winter in
[01:19.29]America Yes and all of the healers have been killed
[01:30.96]Or sent away, yeah
[01:34.50]But the people know, the people know
[01:37.44]It's winter
[01:42.06]Winter in
[01:43.20]America And ain't nobody fighting '
[01:51.48]Cause nobody knows what to save
[01:56.91]Save your soul,
[01:58.68]Lord knows
[01:59.70]From Winter in
[02:01.11]America The
[02:05.91]Constitution
[02:09.00]A noble piece of paper
[02:12.54]With free society
[02:15.06]Struggled but it died in vain
[02:18.51]And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner
[02:23.97]Hoping for some rain
[02:27.60]Looks like it's hoping
[02:30.12]Hoping for some rain
[02:35.37]And I see the robins
[02:38.94]Perched in barren treetops
[02:42.15]Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor
[02:48.21]But just like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams
[02:53.22]Never had a chance to grow
[02:58.29]Never had a chance to grow
[03:05.04]And now it's winter
[03:11.64]It's winter in
[03:12.93]America And all of the healers have been killed
[03:24.18]Or been betrayed
[03:27.09]Yeah, but the people know, people know
[03:30.81]It's winter,
[03:34.26]Lord knows
[03:35.19]It's winter in
[03:36.51]America And ain't nobody fighting

From the Indians who welcomed the pilgrims
And to the buffalo who once ruled the plains
Like the vultures circling beneath the dark clouds
Looking for the rain
Looking for the rain
Just like the cities staggered on the coastline
Living in a nation that just can't stand much more
Like the forest buried beneath the highway
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And now it's winter
Winter in
America Yes and all of the healers have been killed
Or sent away, yeah
But the people know, the people know
It's winter
Winter in
America And ain't nobody fighting '
Cause nobody knows what to save
Save your soul,
Lord knows
From Winter in
America The
Constitution
A noble piece of paper
With free society
Struggled but it died in vain
And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner
Hoping for some rain
Looks like it's hoping
Hoping for some rain
And I see the robins
Perched in barren treetops
Watching last-ditch racists marching across the floor
But just like the peace sign that vanished in our dreams
Never had a chance to grow
Never had a chance to grow
And now it's winter
It's winter in
America And all of the healers have been killed
Or been betrayed
Yeah, but the people know, people know
It's winter,
Lord knows
It's winter in
America And ain't nobody fighting
Cause nobody knows what to save
Save your souls
From Winter in
America And now it's winter
Winter in
America And all of the healers done been killed or sent away
Yeah, and the people know, people know
It's winter
Winter in
America And ain't nobody fighting
Cause nobody knows what to save
And ain't nobody fighting
Cause nobody knows, nobody knows
And ain't nobody fighting
Cause nobody knows what to save
