The Yawpers - American Man lyrics

Verse 1: Loved it once, she stopped to pray Till I found out she's being given away Losing faith, the preacher say Treasure the past, it's the American Way Never been to head down South To too much color, to too much sound Father could see this, "Burn it all down" It was sacred to him, this American ground Chorus: The modern world, it's got me up on a wall They call it living; I'm hardly living at all In times of trouble, I pray to God that I never have to take it too far So raise the flag with your heart and your hand Hear the call and heed the command Living my life with my head in the sand Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Bridge (instrumental) Verse 2: There's a in the streets and the devil's in charge We lost everything about you in the cultural wars This is my home and I'm a stranger here If I had any left I'd cry American tears I'm not a violent man and they've already won But I'm bringing the plague, I'm bringing the guns They won't stand with me, the shall run Living the words of America's son Chorus: The modern world, it's got me up on a wall They call it living; I'm hardly living at all In times of trouble, I pray to God that I never have to take it too far So raise the flag, oh isn't she grand Casting the shadows, her causes can I salute her virtues with blood on my hands Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Bridge (instrumental) Chorus: Raise the flag, see how she stands See her colors, know who I am I'll die for her and by my own hand Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man (Repeat and fade)
