Made in America Lyrics by Michael Lanning

Bonnie and Clyde (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2012

[PREACHER]
I don't care how hard the hardship
No one has a right to steal
And you cannot buy your soul back
God don't make that kind of deal
When your prayers all go unanswered
And the dust is getting worse
And you live near open sewers
With just pennies in your purse
That is when the good Lord
Will become your Saviour
He will lead you to the light
We are all God's children
His arms always open
We must all do what is right!
You may be in debt
Wake up in a sweat
But let's not forget
You were made in America!
[PREACHER & BREADLINE FOLKS]
We may be in debt
Wake up in a sweat
But let's not forget
We were made in America!
We were made in America!
[BREADLINE FOLKS]
You can't blame 'em, who could blame 'em?
Ain't their fault they turned to crime
[MAN]
A bar of soap's a luxury
Don't get much change from a dime
[MAN & WOMAN #1]
You can't blame those kids for wantin'
To fill up their shopping bags
[MAN & WOMAN #2]
City Hall is low on kindness
But it don't run out of flags
[ALL]
They both grew up hungry
They were heading nowhere
Thanks to good old USA
[PREACHER]
All who sin must answer (All who sin–)
And these two will answer (We will face–)
They will face a judgement day (Judgement day)
[BREADLINE FOLKS]
Sure they robbed some men
And they will again
Poor kids, ah, but then
They were made in America
They had holes in every shoe
No dream can come true
[MAN]
They stole - wouldn't you?
[ALL]
We may be in debt
Wake up in a sweat
But let's not forget
We were made in America
[BREADLINE FOLKS, (PREACHER)]
We may be in debt (Wash away the demons!)
Wake up in a sweat (Fill your heart with kindness!)
How can we forget
We were made in America?
[PREACHER]
We were...
[BREADLINE FOLKS]
We were made in America
[PREACHER]
We were made in America
[ALL]
We were made in Ameri-
(Made in America)
Made in Ameri-
(Made in America)
Made in America!
