Thought I'd make a song for sad songs about how much America and life in America sucks. One of my favorite genres. Thought I'd start with one that has America right in the title and is self-explanatory.

>Winter In America - Gil Scott Heron

Here is a live version, I'll transcribe the introduction myself, you can look up the rest.
Intro:
>Thank you very much, for the last few years we've been doing a song that concerns the fact that the seasons have been affected recently. Don't seem to have Spring like you used to, or Summer, or Fall, it has been a season collectively of frozen aspirations, and frozen hopes. We'd like to a song for you about the season we are trying to get over. It's called: Winter in America.

>Back to the World - Curtis Mayfield

This song is about a Vietnam vet 6 years in Vietnam "Fightin' hard for what I don't know" then he gets back home and his mother tells him "The war was never won." Then he finds out life is maybe just as bad "Back in the World."

>Had a long stretch of sacrifice

>Gettin' back home will be awful nice
>Child, your woman has long been gone
>The doggone war just lasted too long
>People don't give a damn
>People don't give a damn
>People don't give a damn

>So I'm standin' here in future shock

>It can give the mind an awful block
>Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, hard times
>Back in the world
>Oh-oh-oh
>My, my, my, my, my, my
>It's so hard, it's so hard
>This life is so hard
>I been beaten up and robbed
>Soldier boy ain't got no job
>Back in the world
