Our Country Isn’t White Bread
Vocals and lyrics by Mary McGrath
Copyright 11/13/16


The race is finally over
Didn’t think he’d ever win
And now the dice is showing
Rolling craps until the end

Gambling with our commerce
Human rights, ethnicities
Our country’s one of inclusion
Thriving on diversity

Power over others
Has changed throughout the years
We’ve all been immigrants
As we’ve fought with blood and tears.

For our country isn’t white bread
It’s filled with many types of seeds
Full of life and flavor
Not a racist form of greed

I’m fearful of the future
For the progress we have made
Might soon be strangled 
Filled with force and hate

Our country isn’t white bread….


Let’s hope I’m wrong
I must be brave
And hope our country
Remains solvent and strong

No we aren’t white bread…..

Fabulous recording Mary! 
I remember the early 70s when young folk of every color hung out together as brothers and sisters. There were no so-called "safe spaces" back then specifically designed to divide and to pit folk against each other in the name of some screw-ball ideology. There was only one "space." What the hell has happened?
Love your music. Love your voice. Agree with the sentiments expressed in this song.
We're a nation of immigrants. Sadly, we were also a nation of invaders... but that's another story, and a different song...

Thank you everyone… This was right before a pivotal election here in the United States. And we're going through this again. I'm not one for political banter, but I thought this was timely.
