America – Donkey Jaw lyrics
Written by Dan Peek, ©1971
Found on America and America's Gold.

Ah, get behind me Satan
Quit ravishing the land
Does it take the children
To make you understand?

Ah, all across the nation
People don't understand
Does it take the children
To make a better land?

Then, get behind me Satan
Quit ravishing the land

Does it take the children
To make you understand?
Does it take the children
To make a better land?

    Get behind me Satan means that people are thinking the way man thinks rather than how God thinks. We may be incapable of being better stewards of creation. Look at all the children who are needy raised by the needy. How do we teach them to be better stewards than ourselves?
