Make it in America Lyrics by Kyd the Band

Season 3: The Realization

2020

[Verse 1]
I remember my dad taking both of his cars back
I remember losing our house, the one we had in the cul-de-sac
I remember those clothes we sold in the yard for some cash
(Some cash)
Maybe those three lines are the reasons I am obsessed
With things that I don't have and wish that I could possess
If I think about it too much, it's sad that I get depressed (Depressed)
[Pre-Chorus]
When my body dies, my body dies, I can't save a thing
When my soul flies, when my soul flies, I can't take one thing
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
Every which way but I'm runnin' in place
When my whole world is standin' right in front of me
(Why do I, do I, do I, do I?)
Why do I fight so hard for things wrapped in material?
Everyone that cares, I let slip away
When all my worth is layin' right here next to me
(Why do I, do I, do I, do I?)
[Verse 2]
What if I get rich just to have the same problems
That I got right now? I need to learn how to solve 'em
What if money is time? Then I better spend all of it, all of it
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
Every which way but I'm runnin' in place
When my whole world is standin' right in front of me
(Why do I, do I, do I, do I?)
Why do I fight so hard for things wrapped in material?
Everyone that cares, I let slip away
When all my worth is layin' right here next to me
(Why do I, do I, do I, do I?)
[Pre-Chorus]
When my body dies, my body dies, I can't save a thing
When my soul flies, when my soul flies, I can't take one thing
[Chorus]
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
Every which way but I'm runnin' in place
When my whole world is standin' right in front of me
(Why do I, do I, do I, do I?)
Ooh, why do I fight so hard for things wrapped in material?
Everyone that cares, I let slip away
When all my worth is layin' right here next to me
Why do I try so hard to make it in America?
