American Way

[Verse 1]

Well, it's true what they say

The American way is built on someone's tears

They alone are the lucky ones

Take when they came; with promises made

How long? A hundred thousand years so far?

Would really like to hurry things up

[Chorus]

D'like to know, better than

History, when lies began

I saw the truth, I couldn't lie

I'd take it back a thousand times

[Bridge]

But now you've gone and thrown it all away

You are king of the world

Yet you plunder, always saying

Something new, pleasе

Mmh, mmh

I can't guide them anymore

I saw what thеy did

[Chorus 2]

Like to know, better than

Eyes that change when youth began

I saw the truth, I couldn't lie

I'd give it back a thousand times

[Outro]

Armed a child, left her there

I saw it all, pretend I had

Pretend I cared, not at all

Ooh, ooh
