Prayer For America Lyrics - Singles - Catman Cohen

America.... 

After 9/11, the country seemed reborn 

Ready to shift from the shallow to the profound 

What ever happened to the America that could have been? 

What ever happened to the America we deserve? 

Step into my church 

And pray 

For a nation growing dumber 

Every day 

What ever happened to the heros 

That should have been? 

(I want to know) 

Whatever happened to the stars 

That should have shone? 

(I want to know) 

After the towers came a-tumbling down. 

Don't care what you bought at the store 

Got no interest in who you score 

Give me stories of men and women 

Who make the wheels turn 

Do things I need to learn 

Could care less about your marble floors 

Show the Rolls to your greedy whores 

GIve me hearts of men and women 

Who save peoples' lives 

Do things we need to prize 

What ever happened to America? 

People across America Unite 

Times are urgent, we need to fight 

The country's infrastructure is in a plight 

Get the word to the people about whassup 

Get the word that enough is enough 

Roads are in ruin 

Schools facing doom 

Hospitals getting harder to find 

Firestations closing down all the time 

Honest policemen fading away 

Caring nurses walking away 

Shout the word all across the hood 

Let's praise the people doing good 

What ever happened to America? 

Wasting too many hours discussing Pam Anderson's rack 

Wasting too much time wondering if Michael's still black 

TV's filled with junk and stupidities 

Our seed's learning wrong priorities 

We need more nurses and more burn wards 

Fewer actors collecting dumb awards 

Basketball players earning more than enough pay 

Our fighting soldiers deserve one big raise 

Let's put more money back into the roads 

Less money going into BS reality shows 

Teachers and nurses, firemen and police 

Ambulance drivers, keepers of the peace 

Shout the word all across the hood 

Let's praise the people doing good 

What ever happened to the stars 

That should have shone 

After the towers came a-tumbling down? 

You don't know 

As you watch the Media talk 

You're strangled beneath 

Their glamorous fog 

I take this time 

To remind you 

Of the rampant course 

A Man unleashed upon the world 

With vindictive force 

You took the time to estrange 

The body and brain 

Illuminati reigns 

While some hottie's bling blocks 

The Tellie's current affairs 

Gotta change 

Applaud arrange 

With vision upon visions 

While visions incisions 

Gone missing for days 

As this daze stays 

Our school system strays 

Heroes paid minimum wage 

As stars achieve critical claim 

For individual aims 

This country's spirit takes 

A visible wane 

What ever happened to America?
