āā¦People know that somethingās wrong; Everybody oughta know winterā¦The truth is there aināt nobody fighting; Because, well nobody knows what to save, Brother, save your soul; Lord knows itās winter in America. The Constitution, a noble piece of paper; With free society; Well, they struggled but they died in vain; And now democracy is ragtime on the corners; On the cord, hoping itād rainā¦ā – Winter In America ā Gil Scott-Heron
