| I was sitting'
|
| Safe inside my bedroom walls
|
| It wasn’t 1990 at all
|
| But the future scene to be
|
| Just floatin' and everyday seem like the last
|
| I think I’m livin' in the past
|
| The other half move too fast
|
| Gimme thin girl, thin TV
|
| Ice watch, ice coffee
|
| Malt liquor, malt ice cream
|
| I need a condo in the country
|
| White fence 'round the city
|
| Don’t it pay to be so free?
|
| Cause I’m a Son of an American
|
| Thats no lie
|
| Sun’s brighter than its ever been
|
| Why Ain’t I?
|
| Cause Im a Son of an American
|
| That’s Why
|
| Don’t wanna hear about it ever again
|
| Take me out to the ball game
|
| I want to sit in the stands and scream
|
| I wanna root for the losing team
|
| Like that day
|
| The stadium was Shea
|
| And I lived in a rally cap
|
| And the underdog would say
|
| I’m a Son of an American
|
| I tried and tried but I can’t hide
|
| What I am as an American
|
| And all the kids overseas
|
| Can’t never know freedom like me
|
| Cause I’m a Son of an American |
