Verse This American life Ain't all wrong….but it ain't right Work all day till you get tired And then you work at night And you still can't pay Watching your life just pa** away In this american life It sings like an angel And shes singing goodbye To Jesus Christ we say goodnight To the virgins in our eyes And the police say Who can we Who can we k** today Chorus Hold on, hold on To this American life It soothes like a bandage But it cuts like a knife Hold on, hold on To the great American gun If you smile when we k** a child babe Then you're not the only one Verse In this American life He's got mace in his left and a gun in the right You know that God controls the day But the pigs control the night You better watch what you say Unless you wanna, unless you wanna die today American Life Thank the lord I'm rich and white I thank him again my health is tight And that I can still get high But we won't be satisfied 'Till all of them, all of them die Chorus Hold on, hold on To this American life It soothes like a bandage But it cuts like a knife Hold on, hold on To the great American gun If you smile when we k** a child babe Then you're not the only one Bridge Ooh yeah Yeah uh huh Its been one helluva year Its time to embrace fear When you can't sleep another night And millions of people have died It's the empire's time to end Because the children deserve their revenge You know that we deserve to die For this American life Verse This american life It's all wrong and it doesn't seem right Wake up late and you're still tired There's no one left to fight Just go back to sleep Just close your little vicious eyes American life It cuts like a razor... no it cuts like a knife You know how many times we've said goodbye To the babies in our arms I don't wanna be… American any more Lalalala Lallalalalalalallalalala
