American Way

[Verse 1]
Every time I hear them shout
Got a mule in the ditch on a Sunday
You got to get it out
Well I’m simple but I ain’t no fool
Something’s in the ditch and it’ ain’t no mule

[Chorus]
It’s a life we’re leading
Its the air we’re breathing
It’s the house we live in
Cause we just can’t face it too much spending
It’s the all we living
It’s the rules we bending
But it ain’t the American way

[Verse 2]
No no
Everyone wants something free
Make a wish get you rich buy you a ticket to the lottery
I’m not finished but I sure am stuck something’s in the ditch got to dig it up

[Chorus]
It’s a life we’re leading
Its the air we’re breathing
It’s the house we live in
Cause we just can’t face it too much spending
It’s the all we living
It’s the rules we bending
But it ain’t the American way

[Bridge]
Everybody came here from somewhere else
If you want something fixed man do it yourself
Oh with a little help from a neighbor or a friend
There’s a broken promise in the promised land

[Chorus]
It’s a life we’re leading
Its the air we’re breathing
It’s the house we live in
Cause we just can’t face it too much spending
It’s the all we living
It’s the rules we bending
Oh no no no it’s the million ways it’s the dirt playoffs the learn [?] offs
Who’ve gone astray
It’s too much spending it’s the oval ending
Its the rules were bending
No that ain’t the American way
Oh no the American way
