    Lach's third album 'Kids Fly Free' came out the week the World Trade Center fell. Tour cancelled, the album never had a chance. It was originally released on Lach's Fortified label that included artwork on the disc itself. It was then picked up by Track Records in the UK, who originally signed Hendrix and The Who, and that import version has no CD art but does have a bonus hidden track of 'The Hillary Clinton Song'. Please indicate with your order whether you'd like the US or UK version.

lyrics

I Love America (But She Don’t Love Me)

Maybe if I was a cop
Maybe if I learned to play golf
Maybe if I wasn’t young, broke and gay
Maybe then she would talk to me and love me
I love America but she don’t love me

Maybe if I was a perfect girl
Maybe if this was perfect world
Maybe if I wasn’t old, sick and black
Maybe then she would take me back and love me
I love America but she don’t love me

It wasn’t long ago we walked on the moon
She was so beautiful singing Heaven’s tune
She said one day we’d all live in harmony
Oh, how could she just turn her back on me

Maybe if I showed her how it could be
By marching faithfully in her army
Killing each and every one of her enemies
But how could beauty have so many enemies
Whatever happened to my Miss Liberty
Oh, how could she just turn her back on me

I love America
I love America
But she don’t love me
Red, white and blue
She don’t love you
But I do
Oh baby I do
I love America
