Billy Bragg
Days Like These [DC Remix]
It's morning in AmericaAnd you can be your bestYou have a valid credit cardAnd can pass a urine testAnd it's midnight in El SalvadorThey're spending dollars in your nameIt's no bloody consolationReagan cannot run againThey'll trade with the AyatollahIf they can't convince CongressThat the only type of patriotIs an anti-communistAnd I shake my head and wonderWhat would Joe McCarthy sayIf he could walk through downtownWashington DC todayThe C-I-A on campusAre taking down some namesInviting folks to join them in theirCoke and dagger gamesAnd does it ever prick your conscienceAs we are the world you seeWhen you know today we're so far awayFrom the dreams of Martin Luther KingLetras de cancionesThe brotherhood of the elephantAnd the party of the yearAre desperate for contestantsTo take part in the farceOf selling democracy down the tubesWith the ad man's expertiseThe majority by their silenceWill pay for days like thesePeace, bread, work and freedomAre the best we can achieveWearing badges is not enoughIn days like these
