All American |
| There’s a strip mall 'round the corner, lease signs in every window |
| And fear in almost all my neighbors' eyes |
| There’s a disconnect between the politicians and the people |
| We know half the time they’re gonna lie |
| Aren’t we all on the same side? |
| There’s no us and there’s no them |
| We’re all out there on a limb |
| There’s no kings and there’s no queens |
| Just a pot of melted dreams |
| What makes us so quick to fight? |
| No one wants to compromise |
| Sometimes it’s all so hard to understand |
| Aren’t we all American? |
| We can’t agree on nothing, even as our country’s |
| Hanging in the balance by a thread |
| There’s bonuses for bosses and bankers hiding losses |
| While our leaders close their eyes and turn their heads |
| Aren’t we all on the same side? |
| What if my son’s class was closing down? |
| My brother’s house the bank sold out |
| My father’s farm we could not save |
| My mother lost her job today |
| My wife just said tuition’s more |
| Another year we can’t afford |
| So my daughter’s dropping out of school |
| If this was me what would I do? |
| There’s no us and there’s no them |
| We’re all out there on a limb |
| There’s no kings and there’s no queens |
| Just a pot of melted dreams |
| What makes us so quick to fight? |
| No one wants to compromise |
| For sometimes it’s all so hard to understand |
| Get back to being neighbors and friends |
| Aren’t we all American? |
