And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind The Apollo Theater on a 125th street, the place was closed, it was pouring rain, I had a feeling I'd go there again, The taxi driver thought I was insane, Brown girl from the Bronx showed me her home, We went there by subway train She took me there time and time again Love was our sweet song's name And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind The Negro was my hero and leader His strange tasting ways…they turned me on I tried my best to sound just like him When he moves…he moves like lightning Across the world the news was flashed The country's young leader was laid to rest Another ending of a new beginning Others cried…some were grinning And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind In Central Park the children were playing Behind the bars the tiger walked Smiling young faces of many colours Many young tongues were being talked The garbage lying in the streets of the Village, Smiling face of an unknown Bob Dylan (do it again, man) She was sixteen, young and so willin' The sudden violence of a Village killin' (and here comes the Police as usual, eh, what good are you now) And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind (and all ya people standing around here with your hands in your pockets) And when I got to America, I say it blew my mind Interview: What did you do in the services? What did I do in the services? I was a fighter pilot. Yeah, that's right. But they didn't like me. They didn't want me. When I was sent overseas, the first thing they told me was: "um, we can't use you because we didn't send for you" I was trained. The government paid, the government spent over $250,000 to train me as a pilot, and then after I got overseas, a general sent his adjutant down to meet our group to say that we didn't send for you and we don't want you. That's right. This is the truth, I'm telling you the truth! This is straight life but, ah, somehow we go on… We go on because we would like to think there's hope. But that's a lie, there ain't no hope and that's the truth, that's the truth baby! That's right when I know you out of the box. (laughter) Yeah, that's right! You know the town that I was born in, we didn't have no streets? It was all dirt roads, dirt roads and poor people, nobody had nothing. Matter of fact, we used to get together to have community meals. Somebody had cabbage, somebody else had some meat, somebody else had some corn mean and we'd get together and we'd make a meal, have a community dinner. That was when we were lucky and then we'd play cards. We didn't have any signals 'cause we didn't need any. Nobody had any cars. That's right! And on the corner, on particular corners, there were accidents all the time. Most of the people who were hurt in the accidents died
