And now it's winter...
It’s 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
Would free society. It struggled but then died in vain
And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner
Hoping for some rain
And looks like it's hoping
Hoping for some rain
And I see the robins perched in barren treetops
They’re 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 betrayed, yeah
But the people know, the 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 soul
From winter in America
