American ways

Protesting what you think is right
Fighting an endless fight
between you and yourself

You will never win
Fighting against your own sin
because you are trying to fool yourself

They all want us to be the same
Then they can control the game
but there is always some of us who won't

We won't conform for you!!
Never will we please you!!
Cause you will never understand us

We want what is right for us
Why can't you understand our "fuss"
we just want to be in control of ourselves!

So we take this sh*t
and run with it
because we know the difference

We know whats right
so we take up this fight
and know we will never win

You never tell us whats true
And now you expect us to trust you?
well f**k that, we know!!

You depend on the poor
to fight this bloody war
because you won't spare yourself

We didn't choose this argument
And you tell us our time is spent
because your sending us off to war
