Lyrics:
I've just taken a sacred oath each of those patriots have taken. The oath first sworn by George Washington. But the American story depends not on any one
to accomplishment will
Take all of your pains and sorrows away
Don't feel sorry for yourself for
Being a true American don't
Feel sorry for yourself for actually
But she's the one that got away
And he never knew her real name
Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up
And insecure 'bout all the things you say
flashy, I'll use any old ride
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Hop in the whip and peel away, stay alive
Cars slide by with the booming system
Like New York
protected us from evil
Read us books by Dr. Seuss as the war
in Vietnam raged on and on
So we filled our station wagon up with gas so cheap you could drive
even got to hunt or have a 4 wheel drive
This is all our home, till we're 6 feet deep
I'll be American grown till I've worn the jeans
This is all
efforts are negated by the passive observers.
*
They spend days before the T.V. set so burned out,
Is it any wonder they've lost all sense of vision
that discovery
The queen of Spain, spends some change
Now Paris Hilton is pushing the range
Stars ride by while the chauffeur's drive
But all you
of you fondly as they pass you by
But it feels like dream
A red-and-blue dream
All that green light across the bay
Couldn't tear you away from this
You drive me crazy baby
I just wanna drive you home
You know I do
American baby
You walk on water
Then you walk all over me
You know you do
The blue sky's an illusion
The red stains a suffusion
I'm overdosing on a flooded mind
Just know that I'm all set
To go for a drive with you by my side
he hands me the ketchup
And now we're finally drivin' away
And the food is drivin' me mad
With its intoxicating bouquet
I'm starvin' to death
By
no need for a safe space
Cause you're not gonna melt away
No you won't melt away
You can change your course today
And feel the American High
With pride
the ground
Rage
All-American rage
Raised on minimum wage
Staring death in the face
All-American rage
Take away the pain
Replace the sadness in my brain
Held
away
The good ole American way
We can't stand by and just let it fade away
The good ole american way
I wear my name on the back of my belt
With the kerosene
So quick to turn it up a notch
Low profiles, spinning, burnin up the lot
Always got that new thing turning up ya block
Always drive-by
ain't have it all
Remember waitin' by the land-line to make a call
Had to bundle up on blankets when it came to Fall
But never did complain, 'cause we've
Used to be a one horse town
But the pony went away
Ended up in China
Cause they make it cheaper there they say
The store fronts all are empty
Political agenda failure all knowing all powerful
American Christian
American Christian
You are God calls upon you look into his light
HE who sees all looks
some loser
You take a car to drive and you pass us by
You take a friend along and you wonder why
Because there’s nothing to gain from just sharing pain
there's nothing left by morning light
Drive it 'til your chassis bottoms out
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah
Got it in the blood, the kid's American
Underneath
She's an all American girl
An all American girl
And she will live and die in this man's world
An all American girl
Her eyes are black as leather
I wonder why big life passes by
How we can get our share
All day long all things go wrong
We just can’t catch what is there
Imagine no more rainy
come so easily
All the kids are gonna do what they wanna
And when we get older we can sing
We're all around the world living The American Dream
