lyrics

Yer really into havin’ a beer
Yer into watchin’ the game

Yer really into livin’ in fear
Embracin’ puritan shame

You got bills to pay
Yer workin’ for a raise
There’s nothin’ we can do to change
It’s the American way

CHORUS
But I won’t wear rose colored glasses to make it easier
I’ve got the song for a better nation written on my heart
If I never stand for another
Have I ever really stood at all
Really stood at all

You don’t like to be political
Because you believe
The privilege that you’ve grown accustomed to was justly conceived

You got bills to pay
And you got kids to raise
There’s nothin’ we can do to change
It’s the American way

CHORUS

Baby steps and beer will never raise minimum wage
So use those goddamn bootstraps for radical change

‘Cause we got debts to pay
History to make
Somethin’ we should do to change
The American way

CHORUS x2
