Searching For America

Where have you been that made you weep And left these stains upon your cheek What did you see while you were gone That haunts your eyes this sunny dawn They herded us like so much meat Up from the sewers to the street Where concrete canyons stretched their walls So high it made us want to crawl Past proverbs writ on subway cars And in-between the window bars We walked until the pavement bled And not a curse was left unsaid Into a place that knows no spring Where only steel and silver sing They made us dance until we dropped And the music of the jackhammers stopped I caught a cinder in my eye Searching for a patch of sky But the shadows drizzled down like in Pompeii That's how I spent my yesterday Searching for America In the rivets and the rust Searching for America Finding only dust What did you see that made you cry And left these trackmarks on your eye What did you find while you were there That sucks the light out of the morning air They gave us each a cropper's shack And land so hard it broke our back Then fed us 'til our bellies burst On promises that died at birth So I lay the baby out each dawn In-between the tender corn With sunrise for her bonnet And flies her only blanket We harvested until we bled 'Til every single root ran red
