Lyrics So American - Portugal. The Man

So American

If pain was a color to paint on you
Your heart would be the color blue
Be a gradient from there
Until your body met your hair
Which remained a silver
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
Who didn't know no rock and roll
Just a mission and a gun
To paint rainbows in Vietnam
And a heart that always told you
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
So, who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They said
Every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the police men don't understand
Boys, all you boys
Just think it's so American
Girls, all you girls
Yeah, you're so American
He may not be born of this land
But he was born of this world
He was born of all the mothers
And the colors of our brothers
And the love that was started
You by the one they call Jesus Christ
He may not know no rock and roll
And there may not be a heaven
Or a place of which to send you
But you know in the end
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
There's a madness in us all
So, who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They say
Every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the police men don't understand
Boys, all you boys
Just think it's so American
Girls, all you girls
Yeah, you're so American
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
Man, oh man
You think it's so American
Man, oh man
Yeah you're so American
Man, oh man
You think it's so American
Man, oh man
Yeah you're so American
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all
