about

… a “classic” Michael On Fire song, that has never not been relevant and timely ever since he wrote it in 1990. This recording is from the Healing Waters session (2014).

lyrics

Whatever happened to the big front porch
Whatever happened to the corner store
Whatever happened to the acorn tree
Whatever happened to the neighborhood
Whatever happened to the tower.
Whatever happened to the drive-in
Whatever happened to the PTA.
Whatever happened to Saturday
Whatever happened To America
Whatever happened, America

Whatever happened to the radio.
Whatever happened to the farmers
Whatever happened to the family meal.
Whatever happened to cowboys
Whatever happened to the air we breathe
Whatever happened to the river
Whatever happened to the old cafe
Whatever happened to the church bells
Whatever happened to America
Whatever happened to America

Whatever happened to the five and dime
Whatever happened to the playground
Whatever happened to the unlocked door
Whatever happened to Halloween
Whatever happened to the heroes.
Whatever happened to the teacher
Whatever happened to the politics.
And my God whatever happened to the preacher
Whatever happened to America
Whatever happened to America
