The American Way

Old men die and Women cry their name Children trying Desperate to stay sane How could we let all of this take place? It's the American way How much longer for the humans? Red lights flashing in the rear view mirror Cause they're carting the ill and mongering your fear Got a half dead puppet for a bigot and a clown While the other wolf is waiting in her old sheep's gown Meanwhile everybody's breaking their back Throwing every last dime to a rich scumbag Dreaming of the day where the tide rolls in And drowns those callous, heartless humans How could we let all of this take place? It's the American Way How much longer for the human race? Children crying Desperate from a cage Black men die of privileged white male rage And how could we let all of this take place? You say it's the American way (It's the American way) How much longer for the human race?
