Blues Traveler - American Way lyrics

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 d**h 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
