Lyrics
Living in America
Red smoke swirled from the stacks of that steel town
Then one day Bethlehem came to shut them down
The queen city shuttered and crashed
Jobs went to China they all laughed
Today the nickel city rebounds with pride
Ready for new century ride
It's a new age for American made
Rebuilding America
Brick by brick it's our holy crusade
Rebuilding America
We don't take no foreign aid
Stars and stripes the home of the brave
That's what we do living in America
In God we trust / Living in America / repeat on final chorus (living in America)
Katrina wiped out New Orleans and the gulf shore
Homes were destroyed shook people to their core
A natural disaster that was hard to believe
Many stayed to rebuild others had to leave
Volunteers came to lend a helping hand
Push back the tide and take back the land
Bridge:
Super Storm Sandy blew away the northern coast
9/11 will be the one we remember the most
