American Song

Well, I was in a place once
Where if you wanted something, then you took it for yourself
'Cause that was the way of doing things to keep the balance perfect
But I, I never did it

And I, I want what you've got
And I don't ever want to share
'Cause it's capital, and if you're poor, you've got yourself to blame
It's such a righteous country

You just play an American song
You just play an American song

I'm never wrong
And I don't ever want to change
You know that I just want to live by standards high beyond my means
But of course I won't admit it

You just play an American song
You just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song

[Guitar lead]

I defend my family honor
And I'm not ashamed to tell you
That I don't care what happens to the rest of all the world
No I, I just pretend to

Just play an American song
You just play an American song
You just play an American song
You just play an American song

Just play an American song
You just play an American song
Just play an American song
You just play an American song

You just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
