American Man
I loved it once, but she's starting to break The life we won is being given away When I'm losing faith I hear the preacher say Treasure the past, it's the American Way I've never been the sort to head downtown There's too much color, and too much sound If my father could see this, he'd burn it all down It was sacred to him this American ground The modern world has got me up on a wall They call it living, I'm hardly living at all In times of trouble, I pray to god that I never have to take it too far So raise the flag, cover you heart with your hand Hear the call, and heed the command Living my life with my head in the sand Praise the lord I'm an American man There's trash on the streets and the devil's in charge We lost everything of value in the culture wars This is my home, but I'm a stranger here Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com If I had any left I'd cry American tears I'm not a violent man, and they've already one But I'm bring a plague, I'm bringing the guns If they won't stand with me, they'll damn sure run Remember the words of America's son The modern world has got me up on a wall They call it living, I'm hardly living at all In times of trouble, I pray to god that I never have to take it too far Raise the flag, oh isn't she grand Casting her shadows, but her applause her is canned I salute her virtues with blood on my hands Praise the lord I'm an American man Raise the flag, see how she stands When I see her colors, I know who I am I'll die for her, and by my own hand Praise the lord I'm an American man
