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? |
