Born In A Cent - "American" Man lyrics

I flush some water some need water to survive I pollute their land with the products that I buy 4 to my family we each need a car They ask us why I need it i say it's just how we are If I stop my consumption it'll never be enough Like I'm doing my part wearing shirts that say “love” What a privilege to live in the united states I'm white, middle cla**, I'm conditioned this way I open my eyes and I can't help but see My taxes are a tax on humanity I'm entwined in the power till the day I die And now they hate us, we wonder why, wonder why They call it a way of life but its really a way to die Trying to live the best way that I can But I'm an "american" man I don't deserve to be greeted when I come to your shores I think I'm helping but couldn't be more wrong Not just as troops but as NGOs We call it support but we know it's control This one's for the women, for "making them free" We believe, we believe, it's not like that for me Bombs look like food when they fall from the sky When they curse our name Don't wonder why, wonder why Good intentions guide us, but that's not enough The path to hate is always paved with love We're giving this our hearts and doing what we can We fight, we keep on fighting, we'll fight until the end
