Lyrics to WE THE PEOPLE
by Jay Bethel

Bill of Rights, Times Square; free speech, Yogi Bear
Peanut butter, Navajo; twin towers, the Alamo
But the Best Part of America is the People

Reese Cups, rock and roll; space shuttle, Super Bowl
Disney World, Smith & Wesson; Hollywood, and Harley Davidson
But the Best Part of America is the People
Yeah, the best part of America is We, the People

World Series, CNN; Hammond organ, IBM
Buns of Steel, the Friendly skies; Salvation Army, McDonald's fries
But the best part of America is the people
Yeah, the best part of America is We the people

Stratocaster, iodine; Mastercard, the peace sign
Cheesburger, the Jersey Shore; El Camino, the Peace Corps
But the best part of America is the people
yeah, the best part of America is We the People
