[Verse 1]
Captain America, everyone is wondering where have you gone
You rode past in your Cadillac, straight path to a funeral home
Half-staff flag on the starting line, to wave you on
Empty casket in the back, cause America's only got so much love
I'm sure you know
[Chorus]
All my people put in on the table
Baby we been working hard from 9-5
And we're making love, in America, can you feel the sun, from where you stand
At least I'll have some friends in hell
[Verse 2]
Captain America, everyone is living out the dream that you sold
The good lord, he wouldn't touch it, resulting in an apple to grow
He stood on a podium and spoke a tongue that none could perceive
They all nodded their heads, in agreeance, and signed on the line
And swallowed the vial, to cure the dreamer's disease
[Chorus]
All my people put in on the table
Baby we been working hard from 9-5
And we're making love, in America, can you feel the sun, from where you stand
At least I'll have some friends in hell
[Bridge]
You stood on a podium and spoke a tongue that none could perceive
They all nodded with outstretched hands, in line for the American dream
[Chorus]
All my people put in on the table
Baby we been working hard from 9-5
And we're making love, in America, can you feel the sun, from where you stand
At least I'll have some friends in hell
[Verse 3]
You know, we all want the spotlight
You know, we all succumb to change
Cause we're making love, in America, can you feel the sun, from where you stand
[Outro]
At the end of my days I hope I can say that I gave my love
To everything and everyone, to all the things that I have touched
Believe me now
