(Back When It Was Cool to) Love the US of A

Back in the day,
when the artists from
USA for Africa
came together
in sunny LA,
we thought nothing
of joining them in song,
getting the nation
to sing along,
without any effort
or strife at all

From land of the free,
to “I want my MTV”
to, “Please, tear down this wall,
if it’s peace you seek”
we thought nothing
of joining up our hands,
from sea to sea,
across this land,
without any effort
or strife at all

When parades were long,
flags flying high,
come Independence Day,
Where purple mountains’ majesty
reflects our saving grace,
All filled up with pride inside
wish you knew me back in the day
back when it was cool
to love the US of A
When parades were long,
flags flying high,
come Independence Day,
Where purple mountains’ majesty
reflects our saving grace,
All filled up with pride inside
wish you knew me back in the day
back when it was cool
to love the US of A
it was so cool
to love the US of A
of A
of A
