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, fakin', quakin'
Tremblin' on its own foundation
There's been so many warnings
Too late the old lady's fallin'
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 tryin' harder
Statue of Liberty sinkin' in the harbour
You can be a millionaire by steppin' 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
Give me your tired
Give me your homeless
Give me your wanderers
