Statue Of Liberty

(album: Little River Band - 1975)

Give me your hungry,
Give me your tired,
Give me your homeless,
Give me your wanderers,
Statue of Liberty,
Standing in the harbour,
This is America,
We try a little harder.

Oh, this is America, ah.
We set the standards and everyone will follow,
We've got our own values,
But they're built on the dollar,
Statue of Liberty,
Standing in the harbour,
This is America,
We try a little harder.

Oh, but now it's tumbling, faking, quaking,
Trembling on its own foundation,
There's been so many warnings,
Too late the old lady's falling,
The only thing to do is to get out of the way,
Anything can happen in the U. S. of A.
Ain't no use anymore in trying harder,
Statue of Liberty sinking in the harbour.

You can be a millionaire by stepping on the needy,
Words of equality, but they're written for the greedy,
Statue of Liberty, yeah, yeah,
Standing in the harbour,
This is America, we try a little harder.

Oh, this is America, ah.
Give me your hungry,
Give me your tired.
Give me your homeless,
Give me your wanderers.
Give me your hungry,
Give me your tired.
Give me your homeless,
Give me your wanderers.
