Americans are dying and you're selling us beans! What's that got to do with America? You can't defend the Constitution if you don't know what it means. What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with you and me? We're crying out for justice and you're telling us lies. What's that got to do with America? But we won't just stand here as our democracy dies What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with you and me? Well, I guess we're gonna see. Never been the one to play the fool. Never been a sucker. Never played monkey see, monkey do. But look at you, doing what you do, Hoochie coo. Front page news. Nation’s ridicule. Push and divide individuals. Its pitiful. No cross communication. Like we livin’ in a cubicle. The time is critical. The moment’s pivotal. So if you bring the flames, I’ll bring the fuel. What we gotta do to move all confusion And free us from the shackles of institutions? We catch a Bruisin’. Work us like mules. Miss America don’t be so cruel. I got a fist full of fight, mouthful of truth. We can let the dream die or be living proof. That’s real talk. I call it TrillSpit. Keep it one hundred, that’s as real as it gets! And when the riderless horse walks We'll be following its steps But we won't be mourning you We're making sure that you're dead Then we'll dance. Oh, we'll dance Yes, we'll dance. Yeah, we'll dance all through the night We're gonna dance. Yes, we'll dance. Oh, we'll dance. Yeah, the world is gonna see. What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with America? What's that got to do with America? Only everything. What's that got to do with America? Wait and see. What's that got to do with America? Wait and see. What's that got to do with America? Wait and see. What's that got to do with America? Wait and see. What's that got to do with America? Wait and see. What's that got to do with America? Wait and see.

about

CHRIS McKAY featuring ELITE ELLISON
(with special appearance by Michael Wegner)

"What's That Got To Do With America?" (Official Video)

I consider this the b-side to "If You Don't Wear A Mask (You're Showing What An Ass You Are)". I wrote the songs in a couple of days and they, somehow, belong together. I hope they're of a moment and that they will be quaint little relics of a dark past as we look back from a brighter future. I hope.
