American Boy

American Boy Lyrics

With all these signs how can't anyone see that it's already made,
That it's all rolling on with no shame
When the "haves" met the "nots" they agreed at the start
Then the "haves" had it their way

You say you wont, You know you will

Wait, not everybody's got a plan
American
The self made man
He wins
He loves
He tries like hell
If it's all that we are, it's all just as well
When still in line
You say, "I'm picking you least"
Fine... yet they're still on my tongue
I'm hoping they can find a son

You say you wont, You know you will

Wait, not everybody's got a plan
American
The self made man
He wins
He loves
He tries like hell
If it's all that we are, it's all just to sell

To you and me
We're all together forcing unity
When there are humans falling all around
I'm waiting for the sound

Wait, not everybody's got a plan
American
The self made man
He wins
He loves
He tries like hell
If it's all that we are, it's all just as well
If it's all that we are, it's all gone to hell
