Don't you get tired
Of listening to the cover up
Sounds like a broken old record
When the needle gets stuck
You got your media honeys
Using their T.V. voice
Tellin' you what you done decided
As if you had any choice
And didn't they cry and worry
'bout people of color
And didn't they mostly turn away
Keep us afraid of each other
And you know it's a lie,
it ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage
And it won't go away
Isn't it strange,
Ain t it a mystery
How did he get it in his head
Somehow he could speak for me
Hey! If what he's been a' saying
Is actually what he believes
Then one of us surely is a fool
And you know that he thinks that it's me
And didn't they cry and worry,
'bout people of color
And didn't they mostly turn away,
Keep us afraid of each other
And you know it's a lie,
It ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage,
And it won't go away
Somebody wants us divided
Someone of evil intent
Trying to confuse and control
The minds of the innocent
And isn't it time
Good people have got to speak up
And you'll know exactly what to say
When you've finally had enough
Don't you go try
And blame it on people of color
And don't you dare turn away,
Keep us afraid of each other
Cause you know it's a lie
It ain't about people of color
The American Dream betrayed
And all of us feel the same rage,
And it won't go away
Won't go away
Won't go away
Won't go away

Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN) are a folk rock supergroup formed by David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash. The group is known for its intricate vocal harmonies, often tumultuous interpersonal relationships, political activism, and lasting influence on music and culture. In 1968, with the addition of Neil Young, the group transformed into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY). Among their most representative songs: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Ohio", "Teach Your Children" and "Wooden Ships". In 2010, Graham Nash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Hollies. All four members of CSNY have therefore been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
