American Way
|
|
In the picture is a tepee
|
I can handle this every day
|
I'm down here at Johnny's restaurant, and so
|
I don't care about em lagging in their way
|
Oh, the principles of power
|
Grow balanced every year
|
Though I may not survive, it's the next man
|
For whom the crowd should cheer
|
|
And this is the American way
|
Yeah this is the American way
|
Just roll the dice, and we come to play
|
Give me the American way
|
|
I could have come from Sweden
|
But I would have gotten tired
|
And the struggle for my family's life or death
|
It keeps my heart inspired
|
Yes we like to face the gamble
|
And we love to make the stand
|
And we worship in the shopping malls
|
With lotto tickets in our hand
|
And this is the American way
|
Yeah this is the American way
|
Just roll the dice, and we come to play
|
Give me the American way
|
|
Call it a travesty or an empire
|
But I prefer to call it home
|
No matter trod the horseman
|
Will soon become to Rome
|
I said maybe the rules are broken
|
But tradition's kept alive
|
There just isn't one miracle
|
But thirty little tries
|
|
Yeah, that's the American way
|
This is the American way
|
Yeah, this is the American way
|
All the players have been played and played and played
|
They love the American way
|
That's why we want to stay
|
Give up the American way
|
Just roll the dice and we come to play
|
|
