Donkey Jaw

Song byAmerica
in AlbumAmerica

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?
