American Way

There's a tomcat I saw in an alleyway
A bowlers hat with a game to play
He thought he had the coolest ride
But unaware he hitched an American bride
There's a deputy underneath the night
Gone undercover tried to make it alright
Didn't realize that the major had gone over her head
Tried to sign straight but it's an American red

Well all the parents, they think they know what's best
Well they do know a lot, but they've forgotten how to jest
They've all got dependants, there ain't no room for risk
The system sucks, like an American tick

Flag my heart, I'm waving white
Gotta turn left cause no one's all right
I've asked for mediation but no one's a bitin'
They're too busy thinking we should all be fighting
So I'm gonna pave a road my stray
Gonna find that I can live recycled days
And I'll take the pieces of my broken heart
Sew a new kind of soul without the jagged jaded parts
And life will see, I'm my own American way

And all the dears that are angels inside
The self-deprecations come the way to abide
The misfortune is apparently the only shoe to
Get around, it's the new American blues

Well everyone's a'craving some validation
A need to be heard without hearing none
They think they're being tough in the stagnation
But this ain't the intent of American foundation

Need a representing and accountability
Got my eyes wide and rolling, no time for jealousy
Can't twiddle our thumbs waiting for Flat-top's groove
Uncle Sam's index needs a new American move

Flag my heart, I'm waving white
Gotta turn left cause no one's all right
I've asked for mediation but no one's a bitin'
They're too busy thinking we should all be fighting
So I'm gonna pave a road my stray
Gonna find that I can live recycled days
And I'll take the pieces of my broken heart
Sew a new kind of soul without the jagged jaded parts
And life will see, I'm my own American way

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Flag my heart, I'm waving white
Gotta turn left cause no one's all right
I've asked for mediation but no one's a bitin'
They're too busy thinking we should all be fighting
So I'm gonna pave a road my stray
Gonna find that I can live recycled days
And I'll take the pieces of my broken heart
Sew a new kind of soul without the jagged parts
And life will see, I'm my own American way
And life will see, I'm my own American way
