Kristoff Krane - American Pride lyrics

Everyone's a shooting star We all will make it to the end The only new beginning is The one I spend with all my friends The trees, the water, mighty sun The sea, the battle, poison field All become the reason For the shadow I know is real Growing up is tough as nails I hope a giant gust of wind Rushes up against the sails And pulls us all in by our chin Whichever way I look at it Beautiful, tragic Part of it's on purpose? But it's usually an accident Funeral to first breath Destiny's choice Hardly enough But enough to make sense of it boy One foot in and one foot out Imma shake it till I see the sharks and then I will be out But there's no kidding, life's hard Especially when you go swimming with no lifeguard Tomorrow Imma go get it, today I'm gonna sit Till I get in my car and drive myself sick Imma go, go, fix it up Imma go go go Imma fix it up [2x] Imma giddy giddyup, Imma fix it up Imma go go-getter, Imma fix it up Imma giddy giddyup, Imma fix it up Imma, Imma Compare myself to my father and what is it I find? I find that he works hard and most of the time, so do I He can build a house and I can build a song that Under one roof we can sing with my mom, bet Watch a young girl eat a big piece of pork Whether she hasn't ate for days or just the night before It truly doesn't matter. It makes me want to puke Like a fast food platter with the ten o'clock news These people lost. These people won This country gave that country a gun I'm sorry to say it, I have to admit I wish I lived in Europe where no one gets sick Maybe it's a myth, so forgive me if it is But from what I heard it's a great place to raise your kids Then I should leave, right? I know, Don't worry, I will As soon as we fight cold snow flurries and chills Up a spineless fix the machine, blinded, trying to swim up this stream Remind us that we're dying trying to live the dream The score is zero/ zero, no side's the winning team And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm me Where the magazines and TV screens Tell me who to be And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm safe From Oxycontin, Adderall Klonopin, ecstasy and crank And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free Where most of my time is spent trying to find The best time for me to leave
